Stay at Home Songtext
von Men at Work

Outside these four walls lies anarchy baby
Unnatural acts and sights abound
Glass glaring, eyes staring, young pairing maybe
What does the world care if I′m not around?

'Cause I think I′d rather stay at home
With people I know
I could watch the whole thing on TV
And the neighbors never know

The bright lights are like traps for the unwary
You need a guard just to walk at night
Fights flaring, bombs scaring, pants tearing maybe
How can you say it will be alright?

And I think I'd rather stay at home
Where cold winds don't blow
I could watch the whole thing on TV
And the neighbors never know, they′d never know


Outside these four shores lie countries of strangers
They have water that you shouldn′t drink
Bad driving, crime thriving, life's full of dangers
It′s not that I'm frightened to walk on the brink

But I think I′d rather stay at home
With people I know
We could watch a movie on TV
And the neighbors never know, they'd never know

Think I′d rather stay at home
Where things move real slow
Think I'd rather stay at home
Where the bad guys never go, they never go

Stay at home
With people you know, people you know
Think I'd rather stay at home
Where the pimples never show, they never show

Stay at home
