Home Is Where the Hatred Is (Remastered)

We got a song for you that we did one time
On an album called, "Pieces of a Man"
And a sister named Esther Philips recorded it
On an album called "From a Whisper to a Scream"
The song is about drug addiction
And some of our feelings about that
This is called, "Home is Where the Hatred is"

Doctor, I can't stand no frozen berry, help me, rhythm master
It'll get better when the music hit me, doctor

A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home
I left three days ago, but no one seems to know I'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain and it
Might not be such a bad idea if I never
I never went home again
Never went home again

Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams
Home was once an empty vacuum
But it's filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Try to heal my broken heart
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
If I never went home again
If I never went home again

Stand as far away from me as you can
And ask me, ask me why (oh why)
Hang on to your rosary beads
Close your eyes to watch me die
You keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it

God, but did you ever try
To turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world, so that the world
Can watch you die (right on)
Watch you die (yeah, yeah)
Watch you die (right on)
They don't dream, they love you brother

Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams
Home was once an empty vacuum
That's filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Try to heal my broken heart
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
If I never went home again
Home again
Home again
Home again

Kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it
Why don't you stop using that?

Easy for you to say that
Easy for you to say that
Easy for you to say that
Easy for you to say that

Kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it

Why don't you stop using that?
Easy for you to say that
Easy for you to say that
Easy for you to say that
Easy for you to say that
Easy, easy, easy, easy...

Thank you
