Outside Now

(album: Broadway The Hard Way - 1988)

These executives have plooked the fuck out of me
And there's still a long time to go before I've
Paid my debt to society
And all I ever really wanted to do was
Play the guitar 'n bend the string like
Reent-toont-teenooneenoonee

I've got it
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy...

Well, I guess that one did the trick
If they only coulda heard it
Half-a-dozen of 'em woulda strangled
While they was sucking on each others' dick
Yeah, but that was only a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played
Just a little extra something
To keep me going from day to day
But that's okay
I'm getting outta here pretty soon
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fucking room

Hey! I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now

I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now
Listen here!

I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now
Listen here, yeah!

I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now

Outside now
Outside now
Outside now
Outside...

Sing it! I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now

I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now
Yeah!

I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now
Yeah!

I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now...
