311 - Don't Stay Home Lyrics






Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
I'm only sayin this 'cuz Iwish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration I think it's such ashame
Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
If he don't have to hedon't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Oh how I'd like todiffuse your time bomb anger
It's screaming danger danger this kind of world
Don't care if you're home so you better get some
Don't stay home this time nowdon't stay home
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this timeno don't say no
Everything I'm sayin' you can dismiss
Because I sat alone onthis past Christmas I deserved to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
Hey don't break the mold kid just eat around it
Yeah that's what I did I'll berunnin around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin' you'll catch me doin'in any given season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out Buddy bye bye byebye
Good-bye to the drought - yea
Don't stay home this time now don't stayhome
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
If he don't have to he don'twant to
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home

  2. P.... G....

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

  3. l.... m....

    Fantastic and timeless.

  4. T.... ....

    I love these guys but who directed this shit show of a video??

    T.... ....

    Pretty typical 90's video....
    Plus their intro aliens and shit, I always thought this video was inspired by aliens? Like their the aliens, exploring a new planet, while rocking the local population.

  5. M.... C....

    Damn 95...

  6. o.... n....

    dont stay home this time :)

  7. d.... ....

    Staying home and listening to 311

  8. N.... ....

    I'm -3 and just discovered this band from my mom's womb. I hope she doesn't flush me out

  9. S.... M....

    Still listening to this song for 20 years now

  10. J.... W....

    Barney we love u

  11. B.... F....

    god has it really been almost 25 years??? wow....

  12. F.... ....

    Some people say that 311 isn’t known and is bad. But they are known but it’s known more to people from the late 90’s. And most of my friends are my age and a little older too, but most people( kids and teens in particular) don’t know this band unless one of three things: 1) they heard one of the songs from their parents, 2) they came across one of their songs on the radio, or 3) they watched surfs up the movie or 50 first dates. This band is known more to grown ups. Now this bad is not bad which is an opinion of course but it’s a fact that even if you hate this band there will be some song of theirs you find good. Example: my friend who is a hard core metal head and doesn’t like stupid stuff like todays music said he would never listen to 311 and thought hey were trash. Then one day he said he was in the car and heard a song he liked and he didn’t know who it was then he saw the info on the screen and saw it was 311 and it was this song. I have other examples but that’s some proof that you will at least find ONE song that you like. It might just be you haven’t found that one song yet.

  13. S.... W....

  22. J.... C....

    Chad Sexton Reppin' OCDP! I sure do miss those drums, they were killer!

    J.... C....

    The snare drum sounds especially during those era's! Even tho it's all in Chad's technique, produced some awesome tones!

  23. D.... D....

    This album back then got me through of some darkest times of my life

  24. e.... ....

    Is that Flea slaying the long bone??

  35. J.... T....

    Man I have known this band for a while. Like I would listen to them on the radio, but I never knew it was them cause I was just a kid. I'm just now finding them out again but I'm loving every song I'm listening. I'm a new fan for sure. Sorry I learned about them so late...

  36. M.... S....

    funny i was thinking the same thing

  37. t.... ....

    The 90's in all its glory.

  38. M.... C....

    Heard of this band back in 2010 so long ago

  39. S.... H....

    OMG these to were born to sing together !

  40. G.... ....

    VHS is a bygone format but you gotta love the warmness in the color that it gave to videos like this.

    Remember BMG music club? This was one of the first 11 albums I ever owned.

    "Don't Stay Home"

    Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
    I'm only sayin this 'cuz I wish for the best
    When you always stay in self-incarceration I think it's such a shame

    Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
    If he don't have to he don't want to
    Don't stay home this time no don't say no

    Oh how I'd like to diffuse your time bomb anger
    It's screaming danger danger this kind of world
    Don't care if you're home so you better get some

    Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
    If he don't have to he don't want to go
    Don't stay home this timeno don't say no

    Everything I'm sayin' you can dismiss
    Because I sat alone on this past Christmas I deserved to be alone
    But I guess I should have gone home

    Hey don't break the mold kid just eat around it
    Yeah that's what I did I'll be runnin around the block
    For no apparent reason
    Somethin' you'll catch me doin'in any given season
    Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out Buddy bye bye byebye
    Good-bye to the drought - yea

    Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
    If he don't have to he don't want to go
    Don't stay home this time no don't say no
    Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
    If he don't have to he don't want to go
    Don't stay home this time no don't stay home

  47. E.... t....

    dear lord the nostalgia that just hit me

  48. P.... P....

    The most underrated band ever!!!!!

  49. F.... C....

    Did anyone else catch the lost in space references in the vid?

  50. d.... r....

    this music video makes me geek lol, "isn't that random!!!"'

  51. M.... G....

    311 i heard this song in 1995 and i hear this song today in 2017, i fucking love this band.

  52. R.... ....

    !!!! Awwww yeah

  53. s.... ....

    I have big white high tops and Capri Adidas pants. Still cool now.

  54. P.... ....

    My locker number is 311

  55. C.... ....

    positive vibe merchants

  56. T.... ....

    Contrary to popular belief, this was the first single to the Blue album. Lots of people thought it was Down for some reason.

  57. W.... ....

    For real, they lost their edge. Nick doesn't have that 'bite' anymore that they had in the 90's. Their new music seems cheesy.

  58. I.... m....

    Guau mono alta banda !cuando para Argentina monster!!!!!÷

  59. L.... M....

    Most underrated 311 song

  60. J.... L....

    Best band ever!!!!!

  61. k.... ....

    My fav band!!! Positivity flowing wayyyy before we needed it like we do now.

  62. M.... C....

    That's really good one!

  63. J.... P....

    el mejor album del mundo... cuando vienen????

  64. B.... S....

    This is one of my songs I can listen to way more than once. A lot of 311 songs have that "hook" that makes you want to listen to it over and over. Especially in summer lol funny they are from Nebraska they are the best beach music ever in my opinion

    B.... S....

    I see what you mean

  65. R.... P....

    Just found them. Can't stop listening.

  66. B.... C....

    awesome message..spoke strongly to my mind..still..

  67. A.... A....

    these boys taught me to stay positive and love life when I was young and needed a sence of direction. Glad I got to meet them. coolest guys ever.

    A.... A....

    So many awesome memories when this came out. love this band

    A.... A....

    Agreed!

  68. A.... ....

    311 2017

  69. A.... C....

    311 is my god

    A.... C....

    Right with ya man!  The boys can bring it with the flow fsho.

  70. C.... H....

    The 90's were a very strange time.

    C.... H....

    they were fucking great if you were there, I want to go back in all honesty

  71. E.... S....

    I discovered this band about a month ago. I'm 14 and find them amazing. The positive vibes are awesome and the one of a kind sound they have is so distinct from the others, even in the 90s.

    E.... S....

    Evan Schweppe Some bands that are like 311 are Sublime, and Incubus. I'd most definitely say to check them out.

    E.... S....

    Dear Evan,
    It was the same when they burst out on to the scene. They sounded so fresh and fun. Take care!

    E.... S....

    They sounded unique even back then, I'm 35. I heard the song "Down" when I was 13. Picked up the guitar because of that song. Been playing for 23 years now. Glad you like this music kid!! Instead of the autotune whatever it's called😝

    E.... S....

    my young friend.... deftones, jane's addiction, incubus, soundgarden, sublime, pearl jam, foo fighters, and of course 311..... the 90s is that music is all about

    E.... S....

    @D Dowe i was exactly the same age when they popped my ear cherry with "down" i was WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THAT IM HEARING IVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.... and i never had the same feeling again.... ever again.... theres nothing that can replace the first time i listened to 311

  72. d.... m....

    criminally underrated. 311 is dope as hell

    d.... m....

    depeched mode yessss ❤️

    d.... m....

    Oh hell yeah

    d.... m....

    they played all there stuff on the radio all thew the 90s and early 2000s i dont think thats underrated

  73. d.... t....

    i was heavy into alternative back when i met my ex gf, had pretty much just started dating and she was getting tired on this one date, so i turned the radio on and this song was playing. it worked, she stayed with me a while😆

  74. A.... B....

    I agree! I listen to them in High school and listen to them now!!! I relate to them ....they do get you through the bad times!

  75. T.... ....

    I wish this band would come to the UK

  76. M.... T....

    eVERTIME I THINK ABOUT THIS......MY BUDDY CLIFF AND ON SKI TRIP TO CANAAN VALLEY

    M.... T....

  85. C.... ....

    I love their positive vibes. It helped me through some dark times in my life when every other message in my life was negative.

    C.... ....

    Beyond the Grey Sky really hit me like that during a rough patch. They performed it live in Indianapolis in the rain, it was a fantastic show. The Expendables and Ziggy Marley too, killer show, great vibes. One love!

    Totally 90s....My childhood right here.

  90. S.... ....

    nick hexum!

  91. a.... ....

    Spiders , from , Space .....

  92. S.... O....

    I saw 311 live at Earthday Birthday and I just have to say they were amazing. S.A. Martinez dancing was pretty epic too.

  93. w.... ....

    I've seen them 4 times and this is one of many great songs from one of my favorite bands. This video looks like an attempt by the director to turn them into a pop group, but thank goodness that didn't happen.

  94. D.... E....

    Not this time. See you in New Orleans

    D.... E....

    311 day!!!!

  95. M.... ....

    A friend of mine put this on a mixtape they gave me.

    M.... ....

    +Mylonius you have a decent friend

  96. E.... ....

    600k views while complete shit music is in the 100millions.... What the fuck

    E.... ....

    aren't you happy you don't have the same taste as everyone else?

    E.... ....

    my thoughts exactly

    E.... ....

    Because I think most of those 'views' are totally faked to hype the shit up.

  97. R.... A....

    20 years from the blue album and sounds better than many albums today : )

    R.... A....

    Hell yeah it does! lol.. friggin' Beiber!

    R.... A....

    Raul Ache wow you suck at searching for good music. You struck dumb luck once and never again

    R.... A....

    BlackestAnimus Well alternative music is the best ;)

    R.... A....

    Hell yeah!

    R.... A....

    @Shannen Canton yeah fuck him and his music tastes if only he loved old Town road like you do.
