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.
