Home

[Bobby]

No

No, I will not let you do this, Harry

This is how it starts

This is how people like us get hot and blow it

And you know it

Common sense depart

Leaving a riot, rumors, lies, and doubts

Do we give our hearts to Americans waiting to hate the invading intruders?

We are the filthy polluters

Silly Germans, with their accents

What a bunch of ridiculous Katzenjammer Krauts

They toss a bouquet

Then toss us away

No, I say we all just go home

Home, where they know us and we're together

Under a sky that found a space to place our star

Home where they love us and where it's our time

It's why we happened, it's who we are

Yes, I say we go home

[Chopin]

Harry?

[Bobby]

Maybe we should quit

Maybe there really is more to life without it

Oh, I doubt it

We could always split

Some of us stay or we go our separate ways

Say to hell with it

You could hurry back to the infirmary, you to the shtetl

Do you think we could settle?

Waiting tables, playing brothels

And the memories rattle around us all our days

Don't topple the throne

Just leave it alone

Hell, I say we all just go home

Home, where they know us

[Chopin]

It's still home

[Bobby]

And we're together

[Erich]

It's our home

[Bobby, Chopin & Erich]

Under a sky that found a place to place our star (There's only one)

Home where they love us (Times will change)

And where it's our time (There's time to run)

It's why we have it (At home, we can change it)

It's who we are

Yes

[Bobby, Chopin, & Erich]

I say we go home

[Rabbi]

You could have done it

You could have stopped it

But no, nothing

What were you thinking?

Wasn't it clear?

Didn't you know?

No, yes, no

Do it, do it, nothing to it

Nothing, you did nothing

All you do is turn around and then you say it

No, we can't go

And we don't go

But no, nothing, say it

It's not home, fellas

Home's not there

Stop 'em, do it, damn it

Tell them what you know now

Quick, before the moment

Harry turned to me and—

[Harmonists]

If we're together, we can weather any storm

[Rabbi]

Adonai

[Harmonists]

We'll go home

It's our home too

Our home

Our home

[Rabbi]

Stop them now or you'll regret it all your life

No
