[Verse 1]
In Massachusetts, in Massachusetts
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
The younger of the ocean sing
A paean to their mother, offering
To hold tight onto the quay
To hold tight onto the silent way
Oh, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter
No, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter what you do
[Verse 2]
In Massachusetts, in Massachusetts
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
A certain lack and dislocation
Sotted up to the gunwales, and
The tide tells you when to go
The tide, it tells you when to come and to go, go
[Chorus]
Oh, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter
No, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter what you do
[Post-Chorus]
I can't find my roads
I can't, I can't find my roads
Honestly, I want to hear the thought that I had
But I can't feel anymore with you
[Verse 3]
In Massachusetts, in Massachusetts
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
To be held at bay and then consigned
To pet about the frozen time
To a mother so cold and gray
And though she gives you one, she takes one away
[Chorus]
Oh, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter
No, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter what you do
[Verse 4]
In Massachusetts, in Massachusetts
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
The younger of the ocean sing
A paean to their mother, offering
To hold tight onto the quay
And though she gives you one, she takes one away
[Chorus]
Oh, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter
No, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter what you do
[Post-Chorus]
I can't find my roads
I can't, I can't find my roads
Honestly, I want to hear the thought that I had
But I can't feel anymore with you
[Bridge]
Opens, it dies
How can I only say it's a dark mind?
It's a dark mind
It's a dark mind
Oh, I can tell the things for you
I want someone like you
Watching it roll by
Watching it roll by
[Outro]
In Massachusetts, in Massachusetts
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
To be held at bay and then consigned
To pet about the frozen time
To a mother so cold and gray
And though she gives you one, she takes one away
Oh, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter
No, it don't matter
It don't matter
It don't matter what you do
