Kele - Where Is Home? lyrics

[Verse 1] After the funeral breaking kola nuts We sit and reminisce about the past And in her voice only sadness Her only son taken from her [Link] In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us [Verse 2] The second generation blues Our point of view not listened to Different worlds and different rules A question of allegiance Clinging to her Bible and her scapular And the memory of the way things were I don't see hope, I cannot smile I burn with anger all the time [Pre-Link] We all read What they did To the black boy [Link] In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us [Hook] Where is it? Where is home? Where is it? Where is home? [Verse 3] I walk this modern tight-rope of humility and belligerence This tommy-rot and flag waving is getting me down I want to stamp on the face of every young policeman To break the fingers of every old judge To cut off the feet of every ballerina But I cannot So I just sigh, and I just sulk And I pretend that there's nothing wrong The teeth of this world tear me in half And everyday I must ask myself Where? [Hook] Where is it? Where is home? Where is it? Where is home? [Link] In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us In every headline we are reminded That this is not home for us
