I’ve always wanted to find a place like this.
Take me with you (when you go)
take me with you when you go
we don’t ever ever have to come home
take me with you when you go
there’s a white gate by the road
I was working on the new houses
when I was done I got on the bus
yeah I helped build those new houses
but not a one of them’s for us
take me with you when you go
we don’t ever ever have to come home
take me with you when you go
there’s a white gate by the road
skid row is just another apartment
look out the window at the tree
sit inside or go out on the balcony
just forget about being free
take me with you when you go
we don’t ever ever have to come home
take me with you when you go
where the wild flowers grow
all these places to live are the same
all the things to give you, they’re all the same
all the things to eat all the things that make me
laugh or cry, they’re all the same and cost the same
and lay the same amount out of our reach
and this is what they’re calling ‘liberty’?
fuck them
we ain’t free
there’s a white gate through the trees
falling down and rickety
vines creep across the fence
open it wide and go in
take me with you when you go
we don’t ever ever have to come home
take me with you when you go
there’s a white gate by the road
