Lyrics

Broadway The Hard Way version


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-teent-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I'll be sullen and withdrawn –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 suckin' on each others' dick!

Yeah, but that was only a bunch of
Imaginary notes I played –
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin' from day to day
But that's okay –
I'm gettin' outta here pretty soon –
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fuckin' 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 ...
