Tell me about the world, tell me about how scary it's out there
If it's good to be locked in my cell
With no cellmate, I know who to dare
If it's good to be safe in your motherland
Motherland, keep me captive a little longer
Cause I don't understand
Why you teach me to swim and you watch me sink in
My friend is dead, he's got an ailment on his head
You're wrong, he's sad, if it's the truth
My girl is dead, she's got her phone glued to her head
And we eat alone in the same room
My brain is dead, they keep saying it's not too bad
No need to feel, no need to choose
The greater good
Motherland, keep me captive a little longer
Cause I don't understand
Why you teach me to swim and you watch me sink in
Why the nightmares?
Why the despair?
Why the doubts?
Why the contempt?
Why the nightmares?
Why the despair?
Why the doubts?
Why the contempt?
Why the nightmares?
Why the despair?
Why the lies?
Why the lies?
Motherland, keep me captive a little longer
Cause I don't understand
Why you teach me to swim and you watch me sink in
Motherland, keep me captive a little longer
Cause I don't understand
Why you teach me to swim and you watch me sink in
