Mother (Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 8/28/70) lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Robert Lamm]
This song
Is on the third album
If we ever finish
We're about halfway through a [?]
I don't know what's gonna happen, though
Uh, it's sort of a weird album
I mean, for us
It's the first time we've ever been in a studio
And uh, I've been paranoid
Y'know?
I don't know
It's a combination of the first and the second
I dunno
This song, is sort a
Doesn't really necessarily mean
That this is what's bad we're all in
'Cause I don't think it's in any bad
Yeah
It's called "Mother"
It's about all the sh*t you're breathin'
In through your nose and your mouth
From all the beautiful industry
That is making progress
To kill us all
Very soon
[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
Driving down the concrete beams
Looking around and it now seems
Yеah, I

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]
Mama Earth is nowhere
Gone from your еye-eye-eyes
Hidden in the crust
Of man's scientific dreams
She is gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
Natural man took her natural face
Made it a strange and alien place
Oh!

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]
You can't bear to look up
She ain't there-ere-ere
Our Mother has been raped
And left to die in disgrace
She is gone
[Instrumental Outro]
