Song lyrics
Mama, they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home,
a light that warms, no matter where they've gone,
they're off to find the hero of the day,
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked ways,

Still the window burns,
time so slowly turns,
someone there is sighing,
keepers of the flame,
do you feel your name,
can't you hear your babies crying?

Mama they try and break me
still they try and break me,

Scuse me while i tend to how i feel,
these things return to me that still seem real,
now, deservingly, this easy chair,
but the rocking stops by wheels of dispair,

Don't want your aid,
but the fist i make
for years can't hold or feel,
no i'm not all me,
so, please excuse while i tend to how i feel,

So, now the dreams and waking screams
that everlast the night,
so, build a wall behind it crawl,
and hide until it's light,
so, can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns,
time so slowly turns,
and someone there is sighing,
keepers of the flame,
can't you hear your names,
can't you hear your babies crying?

But, now the dreams and waking screams
that everlast the night,
So, build a wall, behind it crawl
and hide until it's light,
so, can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try, Mama, they try,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try, Mama, they try

Compared to many other songs off load, I consider this one somewhat inferior.

Bleeding me and Outlaw Torn are my favorites from that album...

i love this song

i really don't see why so many people hate load & reload, they're not as heavy as kill 'em all or master of puppets, but they're still great albums
