Mother Earth
Russell Mael, Ron Mael
When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favors
Never turn your back on Mother Earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that look so smooth to me
Never turn your back on Mother Earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crushing
Never turn your back on Mother Earth
Amen to anything that brings a quick return
To my friends, to my friends
Well I'll admit that I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on Mother
Never turn your back on Mother
Never turn your back on Mother Earth
