COMFORT ZONE

an old man's having supper in his kitchen
a worried mother's waiting for a call
a priest starts having doubts 'bout his religion
a small girl's playing with her broken doll

​

a camera man's work is out of focus
a flower child is offering free hugs
a bank manager's greedy for a bonus
a teenage girl experiments with drugs

​

and all those people 
are people I have known
now they live their lives 
secluded and alone

​

believe it or not
it's what they call their comfort zone

​

a censor's marking art as pornographic
a movie star is soaking in her bath
her brother is caught up in heavy traffic
a hiker's lost and looking for the path

​

a gentleman in love is buying flowers
though his lover is a nasty brat
a factory worker toils about ten hours
a beggar's trying hard to fill his hat

​

and all those people 
are people I have known
now they live their lives 
secluded and alone

​

believe it or not
it's what they call their comfort zone

​

(ah, look at all those lonely people)

​

a salesman sleeps alone in his hotel room
a trucker's working hard to keep his job
a whitefaced clown has trouble with his costume
a woman fails in her attempt to sob

​

(all the lonely people, where do they all come from)

​

a cleaning lady's sick of taking orders
a diver's being frightened of a shark
a president builds walls along the borders
a secretary's resting in the park

​

all those people 
are people I have known
now they live their lives 
secluded and alone

​

(ah, look at all those lonely people)

​

believe it or not
it's what they call their comfort zone

​

believe it or not
they’re calling this a comfort zone
