KNOCKING DOWN OUR HOME (Pete Ham)
[commercial version from Badfinger's "Magic Christian Music" LP/The Iveys' "Maybe Tomorrow" LP (titled as "They're Knocking Down Our Home")]

"Your heart is in your home," they say

"Your home's where you belong"

But someone stole my heart today

So listen to my song...


I heard the news today

They're going to move us far away

Seems that our home must go

They're going to build a motorway


CHORUS:

It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

Ruining all we own

They're knocking down our home

Please help us

Don't let them take our home


Ma's cooking at the stove

Where she's cooked for thirty years

Ten thousand meals she's cooked

But now her eyes are filled with tears


repeat CHORUS


Dad's digging out the back

But won't be digging anymore

No flowers or cabbage patch

'Cause he'll be on the seventh floor


repeat CHORUS


Don't let them take our home

Don't let them take our home.
