Motherless Land – The Virginmarys

We were riding out to meet the Sun
We were shaking from the things we’d done
We were breaking every pattern straying from the map
To make a new life on the run

We were sick of life behind a lens
With it stripped of all its innocence
Watch the hands above the puppets make another war
For the benefit of their own ends

Motherless land
A couple pills in my hand
To take me out of my mind
A couple we stand
A couple pills in our hands
To take us out of our minds
[x2]

So we grew up with a fear of God
Made guilty of the things we’re not
We were lost in vicious circles looking for a key
Another door, another lock

As the Sun was dancing on the lake
There was only so much we could take
So we left it all to happen, left it all to chance
With a passion that they could not shake

Motherless land
A couple pills in my hand
To take me out of my mind
A couple we stand
A couple pills in our hands
To take us out of our minds

Oh, take me out of my mind
Oh, take me out of my mind
Take me out of my mind
Take me out of my mind
Out of my mind, yeah

We’ve assassinated pacifists
As if peace was something to resist
With the history repeating one day to the next
Another thousand on the list

So what are we without the fear?
And what are we without the shame?
And what are we when all is clear?
What are we without a name?

Motherless land
A couple pills in my hand
To take me out of my mind
A couple we stand
A couple pills in our hands
To take us out of our minds

Oh, take me out of mind
Oh, take me out of mind
Take me out of my mind
Take me out of my mind
Take me out of my mind
Out of my mind
