Lyrics for "Tones of Home"
What do you think they would say If I stood up and I walked away Nobody here really understands me And so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine And I'm fine
Tones of home Said you don't like the way I'm living Tones of home Tones of home And so I wave goodbye I'm flyin', and I'm flyin' home, home, home, home
And I always thought this would be We'll see the land of milk and honey Oh but I come to find out That it's all hate and money And there's a canopy of greed holding me down
Tones of home Said, you don't like the way I'm living Tones of home Tones of home And so I wave goodbye And I'm flyin', and I'm flyin', I'm home
See I'm so high to you, but I'll fade away I said you're on your own
Your mom and daddy said That your sister said And your brother's saying They're saying everybody They're saying everybody Is sayin' I, I, I
All my friends patronize me And they say, "Yo, hey boy Have you found what you're looking for?" It seems they don't really know me 'Cause it's here, and it's what they can't see
Tones of home Said, you don't like the way I'm living Tones of home Tones of home And so I wave goodbye And I'm flyin', and I'm flyin' home
