FINALLY HOME

Yes, I'm finally home
To see how you've been
So much has changed
I saw it driving in

And my heart did break
At how they've altered you
Yes, I should have stayed
I didn't have a clue

~~~*Chorus*~~~

What kind of vandals came to my home town

Took all the pretty trees, and they cut them down

If I wanted a desert, I'd be Vegas bound

What kind of monsters ravished my home town

~~*~~

Oh, when we were kids

All my friends and me

We would seek the shade

Planning out our dreams

Pile up the cones

Or make a path with them

Imaginations reigned

And I miss back then

~~~*Chorus*~~~

What kind of vandals came to my home town

Took all the pretty trees, and they cut them down

If I wanted a desert, I'd be Vegas bound

What kind of monsters ravished my home town

~~*~~

Where's my Brother's fort

Why'd they take it too

What about the birds

We used to listen to

And the sun beats down

Drying all the grass

All the beauty's gone

That we had in the past

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Go find yourselves a mountain

Rape the blinded side

So it's not a blemish

To the praising eyes

You stay away from here

So the trees can grow

Yes I'm finally home

You leave my town alone

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

What kind of vandals came to my home town

Took all the pretty trees, and they cut them down

If I wanted a desert, I'd be Vegas bound

What kind of monsters ravished my home town

~~*~~
