The last words on earth
You got to learn the rhythm to speak
You made it to where you’re at
Oh you’ve been where history’s been
Yeah, your heart is dirty
But, your head it looks all right
So shut your mouth
On guilt and shame
We came from nowhere
So pull your weight
Yeah, you’ve got to keep that mother down
Yeah, you’ve got to keep that mother down

A small flame of hope
Is kept alive by gagging the soul
You don’t need it anyway, yeah you say
And you’ve got ten more reasons I know
Yeah, you fought a hard time
Was the way It’s supposed to be
Look what we’ve gone and done
Yeah, we upped the fun
Yeah, we can do it
But not alone

Yeah, you’ve got to keep that mother down

Yeah, we need space and love to survive
