Knocking Down Our Home

Badfinger · Magic Christian Music [1970]

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've heard the news today

They're going to move us far away

Seems that our home must go

They're going to build a motel way.



It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

They really know we all

They're knocking down our home

Please help us, don't let them take our home.



Who's cooking at the stove

Where she's cooked for thirty years?

Ten thousand meals shes cooked



But now her eyes are filled with tears.



It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

They really know we all

They're knocking down our home

Please help us, don't let them take our home.



Dogs digging out the back

But won't be digging anymore

No flowers or cabbage patch

'Cause he'll be on the seventh floor.



It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

They really know we all

They're knocking down our home

Please help us, don't let them take our home

Don't let them take our home

Don't let them take our home.
