[Spoken Intro]
This song, is on the new album
Sort of features the horn section
Doing, uh, a thing in five eight
And it's supposed to uh, resemble the industry
And uh, money making
And, uh, pollution
Which is the biggest product of money
Oh well, heh heh
Anyway, it's called "Mother"

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
Driving down the concrete beams
Looking around and it now seems

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]
Mama Earth is nowhere
Gone from your eye-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
[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
