(Marcella Detroit) >From where she stands The world is more heartless than grand Over the seas It's easy to think that you're free >From the pain Worn and defiled As millions of people stand by And she can't complain How much more can her poor body take? And we're so civilized These dogs of war are never kind Just when you thought that it was safe This lovely human race Does it one more time I've no right to sleep 'Cause somewhere she silently bleeds And history smiles She laughts at the fools who ask why? And we're so civilized These dogs of war are never kind Just when you thought that it was safe This less than human race Does it one more time She must be somebody's mother She must be somebody's mother I know somebody must love her Oh, she must be somebody's mother She must be somebody's mother Someone's lover or daughter Isn't anyone thinking of her, oh She must be somebody's mother!
