Dan Bull - The Outer Worlds Lyrics






A-one, a-two
A-one, two, three, four

Come on out to the outer worlds
Come on out to the outer worlds

Did you have a 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 along to Halcyon, the worlds await ya
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 begin to make a living

So come on out to the outer worlds
There's ample opportunity so help yourself
A splash of colours really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell

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 clarify a few things first
You can skip past 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!

So come on out to the outer worlds
There's ample opportunity so help yourself
A splash of colours really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell, knock, knock
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

Come on out to the outer worlds
Come on out to the outer worlds

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 DT 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

So come on out to the outer worlds
There's ample opportunity so help yourself
A splash of colours really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell, knock, knock
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

A little observation
You wish to rap but it is 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 heightened delight, leave minds enlightened
You'll find time for fine wine and dining
The highlights of high life or lying in
See the dollars signs? We are colonising the skies
Follow the economy, it's gonna provide a sizeable
Income, just wait and see, but it isn't for the little man
The HHC's gonna 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
Till it's adjusted to account for some deductions

We're packing stacks of ammo
Shred flesh and crack enamel
So be careful how you spend your cash
Or you might have to haggle

So come on out to the outer worlds
There's ample opportunity so help yourself
A splash of colours really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell, knock, knock
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

Come on out to the outer worlds
Come on out to the outer worlds

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 break 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 wanna, 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

So come on out to the outer worlds
There's ample opportunity so help yourself
A splash of colours really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell, knock, knock

Come on out to the outer worlds
Come on out to the outer worlds
Come on out to the outer worlds
Come on out, come on out
Come on out to the outer worlds

  18. D.... B....

    I found your channel through the Stupendium and one cool difference i notice between your songs and his is that yours seem a lot more direct. like, his are a bit more relaxed and kind of normalize the subject for irony, while yours are more biting and point out how everything is hellish in the settings. well done!

    jesus christ i really took my time to write all of this down. i could have easily just copied the genius page or something

    L.... ....

    oh wow as soon as i post this i see another comment that wrote down the lyrics
    fuck

  21. r.... ....

    dans welcoming face does not fit with his strong voice but it still feels like it is?...

  22. C.... [....

    i accidentally played this song out loud during class i turned it off quickly but the teacher wanted to hear it, so i played it and everyone became confused and impressed because of the rap to the music in the background working so well.

  23. T.... S....

    0:49 on the TV, is that Stupendium’s Factorio rap?

  24. r.... ....

    Mind blowing o.0

  25. S.... ....

    Outer worlds song

    Me: Yes!!

    Electric Swing

    Me: *High pitch scream*

  26. K.... ....

    I finished the game in 3 days I miss it already 😭

  27. a.... d....

    I'm a little good. Along with plenty bad. But ugly is something I simply never had.

  28. c.... g....

    Ho lee shit!!!! This was BRILLIANT!!!!! I got here from ERB and I just got my mind blown! Thank you so much for the lyrics on-screen because I'm french-canadian and that really helped figring out the awesomeness of this song!! Also: I just finished The outer Worlds as a medecine+engineering+science+persuade. I died a lot until I found Miniguns for everyone.

  29. U.... E....

    0:47 Is that The Stupendium on the TV? Kinda looks like the Satisfactory video...

  30. E.... K....

    I've heard the outerworlds electronic swing so many times it's funny

  31. T.... H....

    Roman numerals on the title cards = (c)1987, your birth year?

  32. g.... c....

    What's the back round song?

  33. J.... R....

    The Stupendium: Writes a song all about the story and themes of the game, and how dark it all really is (even if the corporations would like you to believe otherwise.)

    DanBull: OH WHAT A LOVELY DAY!

  34. E.... D....

    My first character is Seth Everman. The character isn’t that good, but I think it’s funny.

  35. L.... G....

    I hate that instrumental so much, I've heard it more times than I can count, but it fits The Outer Worlds not gonna lie...

  36. K.... G....

    The little bit of The Stupenium’s Satisfactory rap is amazing

  37. s.... b....

    you made royalty free music good

  38. A.... B....

    This game is just fallout in space except no bombs and just companies. I played this game and YOU LITERALLY GET OUT OF A CRYO-POD

  39. N.... S....

    This rap is from the outer world

  40. d.... ....

    I like Dan's voice in this song type more than any other

  41. J.... G....

    When he says "look a technioclor tv" the tv shows The Stupendium's vidoe on satisfactory.

  42. C.... N....

    The Outer Worlds rap: The advertisement
    The Fine Print: The reality

    C.... N....

    Yeah that true

    C.... N....

    They ain't wrong

    C.... N....

    considering thats Stupendium from "A Matter of Factories" (another *VERY i dont give shit about morales **_JUST MAKE MONEY_* game and song) on the tv at 0:47 the link gets closer and closer....

  43. S.... ....

    The background music is Oneself by Jincheng Zhang

  44. M.... S....

    Dan, I love you...
    This song is not well done. The beat is incredibly cliché, the mixture seems forced, and we both know you can come up with more elegant rhymes. Sorry.



    Oh, and Merry Christmas.

  45. F.... Y....

    10% of your viewers watched this and i gotta ask my fellow dan bull fans, how the fuck is this happening?

  46. c.... ....

    Has he been losing weight? I'm noticing a lot less in the jowel stat.

  47. L.... �....

    I get it, you too is entering on the "angry corporate guys singing at tables" niche that Stupendium is in.

  48. M.... ....

    Killing Floor 2 rap, could be awesome.😁

  49. E.... ....

    I've heard it before but I've never been able to name it, what's the background music for the song? Like the instrumental..

  50. R.... W....

    My cousin told me that I would like this because it sounds like it's in the theme of the old songs I listen to,



    I never thought rap music would be so catchy. Great job Dan Bull! Love it!

  51. N.... T....

    Jazz in Paris was such a good choice for instrumentals

  52. M.... R....

    Nice song, I'm from Nicaragua and I like your work, good job and the background song Jazz in Paris was a good idea for the game 😍

  53. C.... J....

    Very nice

  54. M.... V....

    I swear thats is Bloons btd battles music in the background

  55. K.... L....

    That look like a little bit like warframe

  56. l.... ....

    I am genuinely smiling ear to ear here! I came from the Stupendium and their rap song on this game, and this one is also fantastic! I want to have both of these on standby in my car... that I don't have!

    This and "The Fine Print" feel like great travelling songs!

    Fantastic work Dan Bull!

  57. g.... ....

    One question, WHO DID YOUR HAIR ?! you look really different from just posture and hair !

  58. P.... ....

    Mystified how I remember most of the lyrics to lucio self and the tracer fast rap but u can’t remember any of the words to this.

    Not hating it is a really good song

  59. T.... ....

    I love this one!

  60. C.... K....

    The difference between this and the borderlands rap is explained at 6:10 on the borderlands rap

  61. S.... ....

    The lyrics, enjoy:

  62. S.... C....

    I love this song, especially if you think of it as the recruitment song, the one that plays to get people to sign on and go to Halcyon, or whatever the system's called (maybe even playing in the hanger where everyone boards the ship), and then The Stupendious' song is what plays when you actually get there, it's really great.

  63. J.... 2....

    A si eres de usa y yo de España

  64. D.... L....

    very unpopular opinion but this sucks. A (not very high effort) remix of some fucking Kevin MacLeod no copyright music? Come on man, you can do better than this.

    D.... L....

    Silence NOON

    D.... L....

    You’re talking mad shit for a nigga within cumshot distance

  65. D.... N....

    To be honest, I prefer this Outer Worlds song to Stupendium's. but Stu does Frostpunk better :)

  66. K.... ....

    Spotify recomended me this... im so impressed

  67. S.... 9....

    Do a Jedi Fallen Order rap

  68. T.... L....

    Absolutely amazing. Also, can someone tell that rythm and what song it comes from?

  69. l.... b....

    2:30 love it

  70. M.... ....

    I just realized Stupendium is on the T.V at 0:48

  71. S.... M....

    this feel's like the commercial before "The Fine Print"

    S.... M....

    fuck youre right.... this is how the bastard got swooned in

    S.... M....

    Get rid of the surrounding Hell part and yeah

    S.... M....

    @George The beast Granted, that might be an issue, but if anyone can make Hell marketable its The Board.

  72. A.... D....

    if you ever want to see a good example of the uniqueness between Dan Bull and the Stupendium, watch both of their raps on the Outer Worlds. pretty much sums it up.

  73. k.... j....

    i couldnt help but think a hat in time

  74. K.... Y....

    Music and beat could be turned down a bit and annunciation could be better but other then that A+ as always man

  75. T.... P....

    Had to pay for this song, was it worth it though?

    *Yes.*

  76. P.... ....

    I feel like the beat is from another youtubers intro/outro

    P.... ....

    someone tell me what im thinking of

    P.... ....

    @Phoenixoverlord It's got the same feel as Markiplier's old outro

    P.... ....

    @Blue Snail Yeah, I know but I've been looking for it cuz I recognize it.

  77. M.... ....

    Simply brilliant.
