Everybody got somewhere they call home |
|
When they overrun the defences |
|
A minor invasion put down to expenses |
|
Will you go down to the airport lounge |
|
Will you accept your second class status |
|
A nation of waitresses and waiters |
|
Will you mix their martinis |
|
Will you stand still for it |
|
Or will you take to the hills |
|
It could be clay |

And it could be sand |
|
Could be desert |
|
Could be a tract of arable land |
|
Could be a house |
|
Could be a corner shop |
|
Could be a cabin by a bend in the river |
|
Could be something your old man handed down |
|
Could be something you built on your own |
|
Everybody got something he calls home |
|
When the cowboys and Arabs draw down |
|
On each other at noon |
|
In the cool dusty air of the city boardroom |
|
Will you stand by a passive spectator |
|
Of the market dictators |
|
Will you discreetly withdraw |
|
With your ear pressed to the boardroom door |
|
Will you hear when the lion within you roars |
|
Will you take to the hills |
|
Will you stand |
|
Will you stand for it |
|
Will you hear when the lion within you roars |
|
Could be your father |
|
And it could be your mother |

Could be your sister |

Could be your brother |

Could be a wop, gook, geek |
|
Could be a cop |
|
Could be a thief |
|
Could be a family of ten living in one room on relief |
|
Could be our leaders in their concrete tombs |
|
With their tinned food and their silver spoons |

|
Could be a face in the crowd |
|
Could be the soldier in the white cravat |
|
Who turns the key in spite of the fact |
|
That this is the end of the cat and mouse |
|
Who dwelt in the house |
|
Where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt |
|
The house that Jack built |
|
Where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt |
|
The house that Jack built |
|
Bang, bang, shoot, shoot |
|
White gloved thumb |
|
Lord thy will be done |
|
He was always a good boy his mother said |
|
He'll do his duty when he's grown |
|
Yeah |
|
Everybody's got someone they call home |
