Zappa, Frank - Outside Now Lyrics
[Act II]
[SCENE FOURTEEN]
[OUTSIDE NOW]
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I'll be sullen and withdrawn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
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy...
And sure enough JOE dreams up a few of those guitar notes
that every executive despises...those low ones...every exec
knows it's only the records with the high squeally ones that
get to be hits (except for Duane Eddy)...
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
But that was just a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin from day to day
That's okay
I'll be gettin outta here pretty soon
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fuckin room
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now...
And JOE just lays there, dreaming imaginary guitar notes for years
on end, until finally they let him out...

Zappa, Frank Outside Now Comments
What an Amazing drumming
I listened to this song... and listened. What a pile of shit. I listened for something redeeming... anything that would sound close to music.
Stop takling drogs. If you cant listen to this Amazing music, you have a big proplem 😢😢😢
right because it isn't four on the floor or 808s it's not 'music'
@Dick Renklaf it also should be a You're not your..
@Domino Ryan You're*

I know what its like on the outside now
The birth of Emo, and other variations of self pity, that come with hairstyles and clothing, but no new ideas.
not so dummy
Live version is better.
Exucutives and District managers are overpayed assholes.
Oh them screamin' imaginary notes!
