Mama's gonna buy you a big black coffin
She doesn't like the one Uncle Sam's been offering her
Yeah you're going out in style
Mama's gonna raise all the sons and daughters
For fathers failed by men and Mame? and squalor
Yeah she'll miss you for awhile
We don't feel ashamed
And we don't take the blame
The men on TV tell me
There's no other way
Mama's gonna run out of means and wages
She'll have to beg for sympathy
From desolate cages
Yeah she's dragging skin and bone
Mama's going to turn to the politicians
But answers turn to smoke when spoke by apparitions
Yeah she's bound to beg and roll
We don't feel ashamed
And we don't take the blame
The men on TV tell me
There's no other way
We've got to take mama's baby away
We don't feel ashamed
And we don't take the blame
The men on TV tell me
There's no other way
We've got to take mama's baby away
Gotta take mama's baby away
