I heard the news today
They're going to move us far away
Seems that our house must go
They're going to build a motorway
CHORUS:
It isn't fair, nobody cares
They're knocking down our home
Ruining all we own
They're knocking down our home
Please help us
Don't let them take our home
Ma's cooking at the stove
Where she's cooked for thirty years
Ten thousand meals she's cooked
But now her eyes are filled with tears
CHORUS
Dad's digging out the back
But won't be digging anymore
No flowers or cabbage patch
'Cause he'll be on the seventh floor
It isn't fair, nobody cares
They're knocking down our home (they're knocking down our home)
Ruining all we own
They're knocking down our home
Please help us
Don't let them take our home
Don't let them take our home
Don't let them take our home
