He's a devil, Mama, he's a lover
And I know that I should run for cover
He's a looker and, Mama, he's lookin' at me
Well, I know he's a real heart breaker
A great pretender and a real love faker
But I'm gonna bring him to his knees
(Chorus)
I can read your mind by the words that you don't say
You think I'm thrown' my young love away
Well, I was already gone when he called me today
We're gonna meet at the Blue Nun Cafe
Well, the lights are low and it's kinda hazy
The music's loud and it's kinda crazy
But on Saturday night it's the place to be
Well, I'll be there and I'll be his baby
And I'll remember how to be a lady
So, Mama, don't you worry about me
(Repeat Chorus)Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
This the beginning of the end
This the most heinous of crimes
This the deadliest of sins
The greatest violation of all time
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
You've seen her stripped mined
You've heard of bombs exploded underground
You know the sun shines
Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
Some claim to have crowned her
A queen
With cities of concrete and steel
But there is no glory no honor
In what results
From the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
She has been clear-cut
She has been dumped on
She has been poisoned and beaten up
And we have been witness
To the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
If you look you'll see it with your own eyes
If you listen you will hear her cries
If you care you will stand and testify
And stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all...
