Who Can It Be Now?

Who can it be knocking at my door

Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more.

Can't you see that it's late at night

I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right.

All I wish is to be alone;

Stay away, don't you invade my home.

Best off if you hang outside,

Don't come in - I'll only run and hide.

Who can it be now

Who can it be now

Who can it be now

Who can it be now

Who can it be knocking at my door

Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor.

If he hears, he'll knock all day,

I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay.

I've done no harm, I keep to myself;

There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health.

I like it here with my childhood friend;

Here they come, those feelings again!

Who can it be now

Who can it be now

Who can it be now

Who can it be now

Is it the man come to take me away

Why do they follow me

It's not the future that I can see,

It's just my fantasy

Oh...Who can it be now

Oh...Who can it...Who can it...

Yeah yeah yeah

About this Song

Who Can It Be Now? by Men at Work is a classic rock song from Australia. The track delves into themes of paranoia and isolation as the protagonist fears unexpected visitors knocking on their door. The song's catchy saxophone riff and haunting lyrics express a deep sense of anxiety about the outside world. Poignant moments include the repeated line 'Who can it be now?' which underscores the character's constant worry and reluctance to face whoever is out there. The song encapsulates the feeling of wanting to retreat from society and the overwhelming nature of external pressures.
