    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)
