Home Sweet Home

[intro lead & riff

[Verse

Walking down the city street can't find a place to rest

Prices rising higher man it's a never-ending quest

Cardboard castles line the roads dreams feel so compressed

Underneath skyscrapers hope is put to the test

[Chorus

Oh where's the home sweet home we used to know

When did dollars start to steal our glow

Every brick and every stone priced beyond a king's throne

Oh where's the home sweet home we can't let go

[Verse 2

Tenants in their cages pay to breathe a stale air

Four walls like paper thin but ain't nobody care

Dreaming of a picket fence but only find despair

Living paycheck by paycheck can't escape the nightmare

[Chorus

Oh where's the home sweet home we used to know

When did dollars start to steal our glow

Every brick and every stone priced beyond a king's throne

Oh where's the home sweet home we can't let go

[Bridge

Builders build their fortunes on the backs of folks below

Stacking up the dollars high while hope's kept down low

Every room and corridor suffocates the flow

Oh turn the page rewrite the stage it's time for a new show

[Verse 3

From city lights to countryside the story's everywhere

Shelters turning into gold as wages stay unfair

We keep dreaming painting pictures of the love we share

Wishing for a door to open finding nothing there
