lyrics

I guess my house is like a hotel
A room That’s pay to stay
And these days I’m getting all my moneys worth
I could say I’m on a holiday
But my lies never go well
Still Ill try to keep my condition from sounding worse

I admit I panic in the darkness
And the lights are burning out
I’ve been proscribed going out and buying more
Still they lie, they want my business
Eyes that look just like a sharks does
Stay home but still spend your money at the company store
Stay home but still spend your money at the company store

Well I wake up at the same time
As I’ve done for years on end
But still each morning feels like a brand new day
And I’m ready to work not just pretend
Ready to enjoy the out side
Think about living instead of standing far enough away

They’ll tell you how your day goes
Advice they don’t believe
Funny no one you see on the tv is really poor
If we gave it away for free
What false idol would we follow
Stay home but still spend your money at the company store
Stay home but still spend your money at the company store

And if the vicar says to risk your life
At least you’ll see him for what he is
Before long they’ll be collecting door to door
I don’t see know difference
between big business and religion
Stay home but still spend your money at the company store
Stay home but still spend your money at the company store
