Story behind the song
We've become a nation of shut-ins, but at least we're safe. Yeah, right!!! Those who sacrifice their freedoms for a bit of safety deserve neither, or something like that.
Lyrics
It isn't safe to go outdoors There's no one who respects the laws Drunk drivers, rip-off stores Killers, theives, pimps and whores Are all waiting for you Don't go outside Lock your doors and hide Just watch TV And let things be You're feelin' safe, you feel secure With a thousand dead-bolts on your door But right outside they're wagin' war You ain't really safe no more Now are you babe??? Don't go outside Lock your doors and hide Just watch TV And let things be I can remember when you could walk the streets at night Or stroll through the park and every thing would be alright But now every stranger's face you see makes you feel up tight You're not safe not even in broad daylight!!! We're all free men that's what we're taught But freedom's different than we thought You can't go out, you might get caught We're all prisoners living in our forts, Now aren't we babe??? Don't go outside Lock your doors and hide Just watch TV And let things be (Repeat first verse)
