"Home Sweet Home Revisited" lyrics

Home Sweet Home Revisited

The old home town
Is sure in trouble
Looks like it must have doubled
In city size
Since I've been gone

Neighbors all full of killing
Two million people willing
To die for something
They have never known

For city streets of drunks
And junk and stone
A heaven made of hell
They call their home

Yes, it's gone
Like the life of a child
When it turns its back on your mind
Tomorrow has no home sweet home
Look what they've done to mine
It just faded into time

Grandfather's watch he gave me
Is just another memory
That I've kept just the way
It always was

And ever since he died
It just wont run
I always knew I was
His favorite one

And that old house
We used to live in
The roof is falling in
Like every other one
Along the block

It took twenty years to pay
And ten to rot
That says it's all
Just a better off forgot

Yes, it's gone
Like the life of a child
When it turns its back on your mind
Tomorrow has no home sweet home
Look what they've done to mine
It just faded into time
