Mother by The Ex (Punk Band) Lyrics

On the hard sunbaked earth you till
On the infertile soil you scratch
Barren land since time immemorial which bears no fruit

With no rain
No clouds in the sky
The sun burning hot
You try to restore life into the dusty soil

With nothing in your stomack
On your cracked feet
With bruised and worn hands
You wrestle with nature

Your sweat waters the infertile soil
Your tears water the unproductive earth
You labour unpaid, you labour unpaid
Day in day out, day in day out

You are the worker of the day
You are the worker of the week
You are the worker of the year
You are the best worker in the world
Mother, tou are the best worker in the world
