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

Fathers fell by men and men in squalor

Yeah

She'll miss you for a while

We don't feel the shame

And we don't take the blame

Men on TV tell me there's no other way

We've got to take mama's baby away

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 bones

Mama's gonna turn to the politicians

For answers turned to smoke and smoke by apparitions

Yeah

She's bound to beg and roam

We don't feel the shame

And we don't take the blame

Men on TV tell me there's no other way

We've got to take mama's baby away

We don't feel the shame

And we don't take the blame

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
