outside world Info
Lyrics
I’m a connoisseur of Internet porn.
I leave my laundry on the floor.
I’m a man among men, master of all I survey…
I haven’t left my room all day.
And everyone knows me, and I know they know I’m smart.
I guess I fooled 'em from the start.
Cuz I’ve been around the world,and I’m not afraid to fly.
Yeah, I’m a cultural guy.
I got 10 cardboard boxes with a hundred comics each.
I’ll be a millionaire at least.
& sure, you can see 'em —
You can hold 'em in your hands.
Just don’t open up their plastic bags…
CH:
(or you’ll) Let the outside world in.
It covers you with grime;
It kills you over
Time can’t bring the past back.
It cuts you like a razor;
It peels away the
Days making plans for my nights on the town.
Yeah, I get around.
Why waste time sleeping when you’ve got cable TV?
Imagine all the things I’ve seen…
Sure, you think I’m kidding.
You think I’m making fun.
We’ll see who’s laughing when my program’s done,
CH:
(and I) Let the outside world in.
It’s alien and bright,
And nothing’s ever
Write it down on paper.
It makes it all seem real;
It tells me how I
Feel the outside world’s here.
It covers you with grime.
It kills you over
time.
Story
This song was inspired partially by myself and partially by other geeks of my aquaintance; gentlemen who are inimitably self-assured in their utter provincialism, gentlemen of whom it could be said that the broadest aspect of their personalities are their backsides.
It has a tuba playing the bass line.
