She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won’t feel as alone as she does
It’s been two years and counting since they put her in this place
She’s been diagnosed by some stupid fuck and mommy agrees
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
She seems to be stronger but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone
Oh, ah, ah yeah
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
What you taught (Why go home?)
Me put me here (Why go home?)
Don’t come visit (Why go home?)
Mother, sing me (Why go home?)
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
What you taught me (Why go home?)
Put me here (Why go home?)
Don’t come visit (Why go home?)
Mother, mother, yeah (Why go home?)
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Whoa
This song was inspired by a young friend of Eddie's who'd been committed to a psychiatric facility after being caught smoking pot, the singer lashed out at selfish parents who weren't willing to weather the difficulties associated with raising a family.
The pure beauty and emotion of how he says "stupid FUCK" is something to behold. Very few songs have captured such raw emotion into what is regarded as a "no-no word"
