Motherland Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sit down, gather round
People come on through
Red eyes, big cigars
Far from Moulin rouge
[Pre-Chorus]
Aye, aye, aye, aye
The story lasts forever
You really need to get it
[Verse 2]
Midnight, a worried moon
Watches over you
Bow down, get it right
Learn to follow rules
[Pre-Chorus]
Aye, aye, aye, aye
The story lasts forever
You really need to get it
[Chorus]
Why-y-y-y
Why you wanna run?
We'll show you how real men murder for fun
Why-y-y-y
Why you wanna go?
The strongest survives while the weak sleep below
[Verse 3]
Let me tell you, let me tell you about The Mighty Man
And the story of the greatest land
Who we gotta, who we gotta answer to
The king of the Motherland
[Pre-Chorus]
Aye, aye, aye, aye
The story lasts forever
You really need to get it
[Chorus]
Why-y-y-y
Why you wanna run?
We'll show you how real men murder for fun
Why-y-y-y
Why you wanna go?
The strongest survives while the weak sleep below
[Bridge]
Can you save us
Can you
Can you save us
Save us now
[Pre-Chorus]
Aye, aye, aye, aye
The story lasts forever
You really need to get it
[Chorus]
Why-y-y-y
Why you wanna run?
We'll show you how real men murder for fun
Why-y-y-y
Why you wanna go?
The strongest survives while the weak sleep below
