lyrics

I'd Rather Have A Home

you can catch more flies with honey
but my mouth gets dry
thirsty for that switch to cut the buzz
slap me on the back with some familiar noise
but my ears get dirty plilin' up the junk

chorus
i chainsmoke and complain goin' broke inside
your silly smile on tv stinks a country mile
i'd rather have a home i can believe in
i'd rather have a home i can call mine

so pass me over pass the buck
and wish me luck
but i'll be here to help you when you're down and out
what goes around will come around to all of us
and all i do is wonder who i need to trust

chorus

money talks and bullshit walks
into the sea
they pick and choose the needy
to be brave and free

chorus
last verse
chorus
chorus

i'm prayin' for a home i can believe in
i'm prayin' for a home i can call mine.
