I don’t need a bubbly spa
I don’t need a bright new car
I don’t need fancy showers
I don’t need comfy beds with fake flowers
Everyone has modern transports
Shiny rings and tennis courts
I don’t need technology
I don’t need to learn psychology
I don’t need pretty bows
I don’t need to see spectacular shows
I don’t need a weather report
Or a news story on someone going to court
I don’t need a giant mansion
A big pretty overexpansion
All I need is Home Sweet Home
To know that I don’t feel alone
