Lyrics
Verse 1
mother's plea
mother's crying
wonderin if this is the last day
her child will be breathin
She gave them life
not to relinquish
that beautiful soul
for a dictator based oil and minerals' war
Pre-Chorus
patriotic BULLSHIT
closin out the light
on another child's life
who the hell gave you the right
Chorus
mother's plea (mother's plea)
don't take my child (don't take my child)
mother's plea (mother's plea)
bring them home alive
mother's plea (mother's plea)
we won't stay quiet
mother's plea (mother's plea)
enough of this violence
Verse 2
demon traitors
unnecessary traps of life?
you call it duty
I call it theft
you wear the flag
like it cleans your hands
but every grave you make
still knows your name
Pre-Chorus
patriotic BULLSHIT
closin out the light
on another child's life
who the hell gave you the right
Chorus
mother's plea (mother's plea)
don't take my child (don't take my child)
mother's plea (mother's plea)
bring them home alive
mother's plea (mother's plea)
we won't stay quiet
mother's plea (mother's plea)
enough of this violence
Bridge
If love means anything
then stop the feeding line
stop dressing up murder
and calling it pride
hear that woman breaking
hear that city cry
one more child lost
and something in us dies
Final Chorus
mother's plea (mother's plea)
don't take my child (don't take my child)
mother's plea (mother's plea)
bring them home alive
mother's plea (mother's plea)
we won't stay quiet
mother's plea (mother's plea)
enough of this violence
