Dan Bull The Outer Worlds
[Intro]
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah)
[Verse 1]
Did you ever dream you could work in space?
Get away from the rat race immersed in nature
If you long for better ways to earn your paycheck
Then come alone to Halcyon, the worlds await you!
Danger, danger
Got to make a good decision
You're faced with a range of available positions
So, pick one quick and then take a trip to live in
This particular destination
Then being to make your living
[Chorus]
So, come on out to the Outer Worlds
There's ample opportunity
So, help yourself
A splash of colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah!
[Verse 2]
We need workers and you need work
Each occupation brings unique perks
Stop crewing Groundbreaker, start moving Earth
We've got locational vocations for your choosing, serf!
Please allow a guy to clarity a few things first
You can skip the small print
It's all confusing words
It's just a technicality that says you have to see the contract
Look, a technicolour TV
You really want that!
[Chorus]
So, come on out to the Outer Worlds
There's ample opportunity
So, help yourself
A splash of colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah, nah!
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you've felt, you'll seldom fail to tell
It's a helter-skelter whirling 'round
And filled to the hilt with thrills
It's the Outer Worlds, ow!
(Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah)
[Verse 3]
Attention, please!
Calling all you rejects
We can let you reset your standing in society
And hide your creepy defects!
We can't agree to higher fees
We'll hire you for peanuts
But why would we provide what you're not likely to need yet?
What good's a budget when you're fighting ugly creatures
With the mouth-breathing features of your former D.T. teacher?
It's in the manual, standard operational procedure
Been there, done that, stole the bloody t-shirt!
We've stashed a lot of weapons to bash somebody's head in
So, be careful what you want
Because it could be what you're getting
[Chorus]
So, come on out to the Outer Worlds
There's ample opportunity
So, help yourself
A splash of colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah, nah!
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you've felt, you'll seldom fail to tell
It's a helter-skelter whirling 'round
And filled to the hilt with thrills
It's the Outer Worlds, ow!
[Verse 4]
A little observatoin
You wish to rap but it is I that's rhyming
You kind of seem like you'd be alright at mining
Life's hard but you're a shining diamond
Just sign the line here, beside the hyphens
And I'll provide you unspoiled horizons
To heighten delight, leave minds enlightened
You'll find time for fine wine and dining
The highlights of high-life or lying in
See the dollar signs
We are colonising the skies
Follow the economy
It's going to provide a sizeable income
Just wait and see
But it isn't for the little man
The HHC's going to take it and make him pay the fee
His salary's another technicality
That we just have to seem as if we're carrying out the instructions
'Til it's adjusted to account for some deductions, ha!
We're packing stacks of ammo
Shred flesh and crack enamal
So, be careful how you spend your cash
Or you might have to haggle
[Chorus]
So, come on out to the Outer Worlds
There's ample opportunity
So, help yourself
A splash of colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah, nah!
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you've felt, you'll seldom fail to tell
It's a helter-skelter whirling 'round
And filled to the hilt with thrills
It's the Outer Worlds, ow!
(Come on out to the outer worlds, yeah
Come on out to the outer worlds, yeah)
[Verse 5]
Get stronger, live longer
Lift up those digits, numbers
Dictate mind, body and your personality
So, quick, hey, my buddy, pick your speciality
Hitting people with sticks or finer technicalities
You'll find a set of qualities to fit your partiality
Whatever your talent, there's a planet to inhabit
Here's an opportunity and all you've got to do is grab it
Slaving all day, no vacation, breaks or sabbaths
'Cause labour makes us happier than rabbits given carrots
So, come on and give it a go, pal
But if you don't want to, oh, well
There's another dozen suckers up for working, no doubt
So, shall we?
It's low salary but we don't need to save
These rates of fatalities are so great
That your mortality is a formality
The longer you stay healthy, the more chance of a malady
We're shilling medication to make you better paying
Customers under sedation
Revamp work as recreation
Brainwashing as education
Lack of thought as meditation
Capital needs generation and you're just the gent to make it
[Chorus]
So, come on out to the Outer Worlds
There's ample opportunity
So, help yourself
A splash of colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah, nah!
(Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, hey
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out, come on out)
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, row!
