Where Is Home?

Lyrics

[Intro] After the funeral breaking kola nuts We sit and reminisce about the past And in her voice only sadness Her only son taken from her [Chorus] In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us [Verse 1] The second generation blues Our point of view not listened to Different worlds and different rules A question of allegiance Clinging to her Bible and her scapular And the memory of the way things were I don't see hope, I cannot smile I burn with anger all the time [Pre-Chorus] We all read, what they did To the black boy [Chorus] In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us [Post-Chorus] Where is it? Where is home? Where is it? Where is home? [Verse 2] I walk this modern tight-rope Of humility and belligerence This tommy-rot and flag waving Is getting me down [Bridge] I want to stamp on the face of every young policeman To break the fingers of every old judge To cut off the feet of every ballerina But I cannot So I just sigh, and I just sulk And I pretend that there's nothing wrong The teeth of this world tear me in half And everyday I must ask myself where? [Post-Chorus] Where is it? Where is home? Where is it? Where is home? [Chorus] In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us
