About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we are bought Screaming comatose with blackboard chalk Siphoned minds suck a wallet full of love Spitting out a language I don't wanna talk [Chorus] Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe Mother of the free but we just scream [Verse 2] To me the coronation's another auto-da-fé Taught in schools to see her as a glorious being I don't see happy homes but the Belfast wall In Walkman sounds hear Sony control [Chorus] Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe Mother of the free but we just scream [Chorus] Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe Mother of the free but we just scream [Bridge] Parliament mother of United Nations Mother of history's dead son, dead sons DNA of restriction and law Death, famine, spectacle of war [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe Mother of the free but we just scream [Chorus] Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe Mother of the free but we just scream
