Motherless Land Lyrics - Motherless Land - The Virginmarys

We were riding out to meet the sun, 

We were shaking from the things we've 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 my minds 

Motherless land, a couple pills in my hand, 

That take me out of my mind 

A couple we stand, 

A couple pills in our hands 

To take us out of my minds 

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 

And 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 my 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 

Out of my mind yeah 

We've assassinated pacifists, 

As the peace was something to resist 

With the history repeated 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, 

That take me out of my mind 

A couple we stand, 

A couple pills in our hands 

To take us out of my 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
