Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (F major) Every so (A minor) often we go to the zoo,
it's (C major) home, (A minor) sweet home, (A flatdim)
joining on the bits.
(F major) For the monkey, (G major) the tiger,
the spider, the gnu,
home, sweet home. (C major)
They mope, they pace,
they fly into rages,
throw (F major) feces (D minor) at us
through the (F minor) bars of their cages.
They've (C major) got no choice,
they've (D major) got no voice,
but it's (G major) home, sweet home. (C major)
But (A minor) every night when the
zoo gates are closed,
(C major) home, sweet (A minor) home, (G major)
They don't fall (D minor) asleep,
they don't even doze,
(G major) home, sweet home. (C major)
They gather and grumble
and gossip for ages about (F major) the
(D minor) strange creatures
Outside (F minor) of their cages,
about (C major) you and me,
Who think (D major) we are free
in our (G major) home, sweet home. (C major) (A minor)
(F major) For sure, (C major) as a species,
(A minor) we are rather odd,
(C major) Home, sweet (A minor) (G major) home.
No (D minor) other creature needs
money or God,
(G major) Home, sweet home. (C major)
Animals succeed by natural selection,
We (F major) choose (D minor) our leaders
in (F minor) so -called elections,
where (C major) asses kick ass,
and (D major) prisons can pass
for a (G major) home, sweet home. (C major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
(F major) De fenses (G major) (A minor) went up (G major) when the
towers came (A minor) down,
(C major) home, sweet (A minor) (G major) home.
Now we're so darned afraid
that we live underground,
home, sweet (C major) home.
Take up the blanks
from your walls and your floors
Mail (F major) them over your (F minor) windows and doors
It's (C major) safe inside,
(D major) now we can hide in our (G major) home
Sweet home (C major) (A minor) (C major)
When we fly we're on
homeland security too
Home, sweet home (G major)
Like sheep in a pen, we stand in a line
Home, sweet home (C major)
Take off our shoes, empty our pants
They'd (F major) strip us dark naked
if (F minor) they had the chance
Miss Con (C major) doleezza absconds (D major)
with our tweezers
It's (G major) home, sweet home (C major)
It's orange (G major) alert (C major) every hour of the day
Home, sweet (F major) home (G major)
There's plenty of room (A minor) at
Guantanamo (G major) Bay
Home, sweet home (C major)
Behind every bush, a terrorist lurks
Popula (F major) tion control, (F minor) you bet it works
Keep (C major) s us in line,
(D major) body and mind in a (G major) rush
Home, home (C major)
The rest of the world is
outside of the bars
Home, sweet home (G major)
Observing the zoo of the
stripes and the stars,
home sweet home. (C major)
They're hoping we won't want their oil and their water,
their (F major) air, their cheap labor,
their (F minor) lands for our slaughter,
a dump for (C major) our waste,
and (D major) all of their space for our (G major) home,
sweet home. (C major) (A minor) (C major)
Keep (G major) (C major) all this in mind
(A minor) when you visit the zoo,
it's home, (C major) sweet (A minor) (G major) home,
for crit (D minor) ters who have it
much better than you,
(G major) home, sweet home. (C major)
They may have no space
for their paws or their fins,
but they (F major) don't have (D minor) to pay
for the (F minor) prison they're in.
And in their (C major) old age,
they're (D major) straw in their cage
in their (G major) home, sweet (C major) home (B major) (B flat major) (A major) (D major)
Keep all this in mind
if you're green or you're red
Home, sweet home (A major)
Carlton and Georgie are (G major) under (A major) your bed
Home, sweet home (D major)
The big corporations are
making your laws
Yank (G major) ing your chains,
clipping (G minor) your claws
Remov (D major) ing your choice,
(E major) stifling our voice in a
Home, (A major) sweet home (D major) (A major) (D major) (F sharpdim)
(D major)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, it's time for Mr. Billy Bragg.
Geez, he comes when I call
and even Margaret Thatcher
couldn't do that.
I'm at your beck and call.
How long? know that.
That's nice.
