House
Glen Burtnik Lyrics

When it's hot it's hot
The heat is unbearable at times.

Hotter than hell is supposed to be
It is extremely hot and uncomfortable.

When it's cold it's so cold
The weather can be extremely frigid.

You can hardly see
The weather is impacting visibility.

I've been other places
The artist has traveled extensively.

None looked this good to me
The singer has not found a place they prefer to this one.

Yeah, I'm right where I wanna be
The singer is content with their current location.

Wanna live in my little red house
The artist desires to reside in a small, red house.

Wanna stay in the shade of a towering tree
They also want to be under the shadow of a very tall tree.

You come on my street, you answer to me
The artist takes control of all proceedings on their street.

And I got one big hurt I got in the war, for what it's worth
The singer has suffered a significant injury during a conflict.

My father before me lived and died
The artist's father also lived on this land and passed away.

For this piece of Earth
Their family has a deep attachment to and respect for this land.

There goes my TV
The singer's television stops working.

Talk about a world of fear
There is much anxiety and apprehension present in the world.

And I don't like what I hear
The artist is uncomfortable with the current state of things.

You come on my street, you answer to me
Again, the artist asserts their authority on their street.

I'm right where I wanna be
The singer emphasizes their satisfaction with their location.

Where nothing, nothing can hurt me
They feel secure in their surroundings.

You walk this way, you talk to me
The artist demands respect from those who enter their territory.

You're gonna have to deal with me
The artist implies that others should not provoke them.

You don't wanna mess with me
They warn others to steer clear of causing trouble.
