Don't Stay Home by 311
(Drums Intro)
G D5 Bm D5
1.Life could slip away in absent-minded numbness
I'm only saying this cuz I wish for the best
But when you always stay in, self incarceration
G D5 E
I think it's such a shame
Chorus
E A5 B5 E A5
Don't stay home this time, no, don't stay home. Oh,
B5
if he don't have to, he don't want to,
E A5 B5 E A5 B5
Don't stay home this time, no, don't say no.
G D5 Bm D5 G D5 Bm D5
2.Oh, how I'd like to Defuse your time bomb anger,it's screaming danger,danger.
This kind of world don't care if your home,
G D5 E
So you'd better get some.
Repeat Chorus
G D5 Bm D5
3.Everything I'm saying, you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past Christmas
I desrved to be alone but,
G D5 E (Strike E chord 4 times)
I guess I should have gone home.

Hey,don't break the mold, kid
Just eat around it, yeah, that's what I did

Something you'll catch me doing in any given season
Got catch a sweat man, got to get on the bus now
Biddy bye bye, good bye to the drought,uh! (Strike E chord)

| i think this lyric..."Hey don't break the mold kid just eat around it, yeah that's what I did" says how 311 didnt really break into the mainstream with their style of music when they started, they slowly made the niche in peoples cd/tape collections by gaining there fan base by "not staying home". i think the song says go out and make a name for yourself, dont wait for it | |

| This song is about not letting life go by you without going out and doing what you wanna do. Cause you'll regret it later. The worst thing ever is looking back on your life and saying "damn, i wish i would've tried that, or done this" Live your life to it's fullest. | |

| the key word in this song is "home." for me it connotes a certain confinement may it be physical or mental. this song encourages adventure and exploration of the richness that is life. if youre a home buddy all your life for example. this song gives you a kick in the noggin, saying go out and go wild, youre missing out on life. on the other hand "home" may also mean a certain closemindedness that keeps you from apprecieating the different and the strange. so the chorus says: "don't stay home." That's deep! 311 rocks man! | |

| This song was my inspiration to break out of my shell, go out and be more social.. "Life could Slip away in absent minded numbness" "This kind of world don't care if you're home" and "Hey don't break the mold kid, just eat around it, yeah that's what I did.." Those lines say to me: Don't let the time slip away and miss the opportunity to make good memories. The world isn't going to come in and revamp your social life. You just have to get out there and be you.. Do your own thing, do what you like, and you'll be happy. | |

| The music itself rocks, but the lyrics are ridiculously genius just like all of 311's songs. | |

| I think Starflame couldnt have said it better, plus i think it means that sometimes you just have to get out there and party while you can! 311 is the best! | |

| Well since this is my favorite song in the whole wide world and im the first person to write about it, I will say that this song changed my music tastes forever it gave me a whole new positive outlook on life and I can listen to it forever and not get tired of it. And everytime i hear the first drum part to it I get a smile on my face and when he starts singing I get an even bigger one. | |

| i'd say this song is about having strict parents who don't let you go out a lot. and you just feel like tired of it and go out anyway. | |
