Mama

In the streets I used to know
I'm a landed alien
Look right through me, dancing crowd
White shirts, black eyes
Guilt and pain both laugh out loud

Mama, I prefer not to watch the news
There are more words for me but win or lose
Fear and shame and war and flames
Burning out the fields
Burning down the growth of me
Of us

Papa, I prefer not to hear the prayer
My god is not the one that runs this place
Power and desire, hunger, fire
Burning out the fields
Burning down the growth of me
Of us

Mama, i prefer not to go to bed
It's way passed 8, but i can't rest
Lullabies won't do tonight, my dear
Monsters, nightmares, wasted love
And the day appears
Will there be remains of you
Of us
