[Verse 1]

Well, if it won't for my old dogs and the good Lord

They'd have me strung up in the psych ward

'Cause every day livin' in this new world

Is one too many days to me

[Verse 2]

Son, we're on the brink of the next world war

And I don't think nobody's prayin' no more

And I ain't sayin I know it for sure

I'm just down on my knees

[Chorus]

Beggin', Lord, take me home

I just wanna go home

I don't know which road to go

It's been so long

I just know I didn't used to wake up feelin' this way

Cussin' myself every damn day

People have really gone and lost their way

They all just do what the TVs say

And I wanna go home

[Verse 3]

Seven generations farmin' the ground

Grandson sells it to a man from out of town

Two weeks later the trees go down

Only got concrete growin' around

[Chorus]

And I wanna go home

I wanna go home

I don't know which road to go

It's been so long

I just know I didn't used to wake up feelin this way

Well, cussin' myself every damn day

There's always some kind of bill to pay

People just doin' what the rich man say

And I wanna go home

Yeah, his song about the 'rich men north of richmond' was racist and fatfobic, and spewing right wing propaganda.

If you want some actual grassroots lefty music, heres a song about living in a failed state.
