Native Land |
| Stone the crows if you’ve done it again |
| If I’ve told you once, told you a thousand times |
| Sometimes I am so convinced we’re casting pearl amongst the swine |
| Don’t ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead |
| We shun the limelight, shun the glare |
| And the circus built on a bigot’s creed |
| Heaven is a place I’ve heard |
| But we haven’t been there yet, I fear |
| We may have opened pearly gates |
| But sometimes hell stills steals in here |
| Don’t ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead |
| Do you think silver turns our locks? |
| What gold do you think paves our streets? |
| You say we’re in a different world now |
| Where money and love go hand in hand |
| But can’t you see we share this town |
| So why should we fight on our native land? |
| Can’t you see we share this town |
| So why on earth should we tear it down? |
