Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we are bought
  Screaming comatose with blackboard chalk
  Siphoned minds suck a wallet full of love
  Spitting out a language I don't wanna talk
    Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
  Mother of the free but we just scream
    To me the coronation's another auto-da-fe
  Taught in schools to see her as a glorious being
  I don't see happy homes but the Belfast wall
  In Walkman sounds hear Sony control
    Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
  Mother of the free but we just scream
    Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
  Mother of the free but we just scream
    Parliament mother of United Nations
  Mother of history's dead sun, dead suns
  DNA of restriction and law
  Death, famine, spectacle and war
    Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
  Mother of the free but we just scream
    Mother of the free but we just scream
  Mother of the free but we just scream
