Got No Home So I Got No Rights

From the album “Peace Is Where You Make It”
Am E
Missed a payment on my rent
E Am
Landlord he’s no gentle gent
Am E
Put me out without a cent
D D7 Am
‘Cause I missed a payment on my rent.
Chorus
D Am
I got no home so I got no rights
D Am
Cops tear down our cold campsites
D Am
Got no water, no heat, no lights
E Am
Got no home so I got no rights.
Please don’t look down your nose at me
Sometimes life treats us brutally
Maybe there were too many mouths to feed
Maybe it was someone’s lechery.
Havin’ nowhere to sleep is now a crime
It’s hard to cope in wintertime
I’d like to head for a warmer clime
But I don’t even have a dime.
Chorus
Not homeless ‘cause I like to roam
Don’t have some kind of fancy syndrome
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with my chromosomes
I’m homeless ‘cause I got no home.
Lost my home to bankruptcy
Now I got no place to pee
Two things could make you just like me
Foreclosure paired with poverty.
Chorus, then:
D Am
Yeah, I got no rights. (3x)
