[chorus]
family (x2)

[verse]
there’s murder and conspiracy
hangin’ over me
down in the place i used to call home
hangin’ rope around me
to dangle from a tree
down in the place i used to call home
now in this place of misery
there’s little opportunity
down in the place i used to call home
‘cause only thieves and robbers drag
wild on the other side
down in the place i used to call home

[hook]
‘cause i wasn’t where i knew i ought to be
cradled in the arms of a wife and lover
somebody shouted ‘run for cover’
when they came
for my

[chorus]
family (x2)

[bridge 1]
sirens and cars
hold the eternal dam
silenced we are

[verse]
i took a chance at being free
now uniforms are breaking me
down in the place i used to call home
‘cause mercy’s just a memory
for people like you and me
down in the place i used to call home

[hook]
‘cause i wasn’t where i knew i ought to be
cradled in the arms of a wife and lover
somebody shouted ‘run for cover’
when they came
for my

[chorus]
family (x2)

[bridge 2]
where are they dragging me now?
where are they dragging me now?

[bridge 1]
sirens and cars
hold the eternal dam
silenced we are (oh!)

(vocalizing melody)

[chorus]
family (x4)
