We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
Mama, we all go to hell
It's really quite pleasant
You made us oh so famous
And right now they're building a coffin your size
If you could coddle the infection they can amputate at once
Mama, mama, mama, ohh
For what you've done they're gonna find
A place for you, and just you mind
Through fortune and flame we fall
Mama, we all go to hell
We'll never let you go
Mama, we all go to hell
Mama, we're all gonna die
So raise your glass high for tomorrow we die
And when you go, don't return to me, my love"
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way
To return from the ashes you crawl
Except for the smell
I'd maybe then sing you a song
Mama, we're all full of lies
You would cry out your eyes all along
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry
Your manners when you go
We all carry on
We're damned after all
Oh, well, now
Mama, we're all gonna die
Mama, mama, mama, mama!
(When our brothers in arms are gone)
When our brothers in arms are gone
You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son
Mama, we're meant for the flies
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue
But there's **** that I've done with this **** of a gun
Mama, we all go to hell
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
Mama, we're all full of lies
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
We'll never let you go
(We all carry on)
She said, "You ain't no son of mine
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well
Mama, we're all gonna die
You should've been, I could have been a better son
And if you would call me your sweetheart
And when you go don't return to me, my love
You made us oh so famous
That's right
