Home in the sky

E (7th fret)
1. They take you away from your home in the sky
E (7th fret)
Then they tell you that you’re going to die.
A B E
Well I don’t know the reason why, but I don’t want to die.

2. Then they tell you that you don’t conform.
To the right social norm.
Just don’t listen to what they say.
You want to be that way.

A B E A B E
(Chorus) Home in the sky. Why ask me why (repeat)

3. Then they fill your head with things you should know.
They tell you it will help you grow.
Well they’re the ones who’ve got it wrong,
but you just humor them along

4. Then they ask you for your opinion.
Something you’d been hoping all along.
But when you tell them what you think.
They say you’ve got it wrong.

(Chorus and repeat verse 1)
