I heard a song from a new Simpsons episode today. It has the song "Who can it be now" by the band Men At Work. It might be seen generally as a slapstick type song, but it's pretty fitting for people with social anxiety. It's about a guy who avoids opening his front door, trying to pretend that he isn't home.

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

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Oh...Who can it be now?
Oh...Who can it...Who can it...
Oh...Who can it be now?
Oh...yeah yeah yeah

Helpless Automation by Men At Work

I stay in my room,
All alone in the gloom,
What need I of light?
Machines they can see in the night,
And I feel no pain
Metal heart and a metal brain,
But something is wrong
’cause I still feel that signal coming in so

I stand at your door,
I guess I’ll wait a moment more
Your hall light comes on
And now my turn to fire upon
But I wheel away
Defer my plight, for another day
To dream of your face
But a video screen takes it’s place

Hey, oh it’s true
I’m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it’s true
Machin’ry in my pocket, I’ve even got a docket from you

I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,
But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
"distrusted not rusted" that’s why I feel so disgusted
But I know he’s wrong, ’cause I haven’t felt this way for very long

Hey, it’s true,
I’m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it’s true
Machin’ry in my pocket, I’ve even got a docket from you
I’m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it’s true
Machin’ry in my pocket, I’ve even got a docket from you
It’s true
I’m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it’s true
Machin’ry in my pocket, I’ve even got a docket from you
From you
From you
