Lyrics

Mama we all go to hell
Mama we all go to hell
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well
Mama we all go to hell

Mama we're all gonna die
Mama we're all gonna die
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry
Mama we're all gonna die

And when we go don't blame us, yeah
We let the fire just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh so famous
We'll never let you go
And when you go don't return to me my love

Mama we're all full of lies
Mama we're meant for the flies
And right now they're building a coffin your size
Mama we're all full of lies

Well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue
You should've raised a baby girl
I should've been a better son
If you can coddle the infection they can amputate at once
You should've been!
I could've been a better son

And when we go don't blame us, yeah
We let the fire just bathe us yeah
You made us oh so famous
We'll never let you go

She said "you aint no son of mine"
For what you've done they're gonna find
A place for you and just you mind
Your manners when you go

And when you go don't return to me my love
That's right

Mama we all go to hell
Mama we all go to hell
It's really quite pleasant except for the smell
Mama we all go to hell

Mama, mama, mama, ohhhh
Mama, mama, mama

Liza: I wish you would call me your sweet heart, I'd maybe then sing you a song

Gerard: but the shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun
You would cry out your eyes all along

We're damned after all
Through fortune and flame we fall
And if you could say that "I'll show you the way
To return from the ashes you call."

We all carry on
When our brothers in arms are gone
So raise your glass high for tomorrow we die
And return from the ashes you call
