Iggy Pop · Essential [2011]

I work so hard, man, so don't trip me up

Shakin' a leg like the tail o' the pup

I'm payin' dues till I register heat

Sure hope I don't end up on the street

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

So many people rise and fall

Who's lookin' after you at all?

Nobody knows anybody at all

Strangers in paradise down at the mall

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

The life we live is tricky tricky

I love my home, and my family

Who's gonna love you when the

Mountain gets steep?

We're gonna make it-in a jeep

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

You better think about your home, boy

Better love it

Don't shove it

Every motherfucker really needs a home

Home, Home

Oh I need my home

When I get home I feel so good

Cause the door is locked

And it ain't just wood

No asshole better get in my way

Cause I got everything

I'm still home I feel good

I got everything like I should

I'm safe, I'm alright

I got my home & I feel alright

I got my home & I feel alright
