Taking Away My Home

[Verse 1]
They're taking away my home
They’re taking away my home
They can't leave me alone
They can't leave me alone
And what’s a man to do
When all he thought was true, it just ain't so

[Verse 2]
They're digging up my yard
They're digging up my yard
Making easy hard
Yeah they're making easy hard
And where's a man to go
When everything he knows is just a show

[Pre-Chorus]
No bombs to blast, no guns to fire
No call to arms across the wire
A flag will raise to end the fight
That's hidden in plain sight

[Verse 3]
It's a complicated world
A complicated world
Black white boy, or girl
Black white boy, or girl
Ya paste the TV news
And blame all of our blues on our own

[Pre-Chorus]
No coupe de main, no F-15’s
No government, just kings and queens who’ll raise the flag
To end the fight
That's hidden in plain sight

[Chorus]
They’re taking away my home
They're taking away my home
They can't leave me alone
No they can't leave me alone

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
