The Outer Worlds Songtext
von Dan Bull

One, two
One, two, three, four
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
Come on out to the Outer Worlds

Did you ever dream you can 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 world awaits 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 begin to make your living

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


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 the small print, it's all confusing words
It's just a technality 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 colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you′ve felt, you'll seldom fail to tell
It′s a helter-skelter, whirled around and filled
To the hilt with thrills, it's the Outer Worlds, oh

Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out

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 colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you′ve felt, you'll seldom fail to tell
It′s a helter-skelter, whirled around and filled
To the hilt with thrills, it's the Outer Worlds

A little observation
You wish to rap, but it is I that's rhyming
You kinda 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 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 colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you've felt, you′ll seldom fail to tell
It's a helter-skelter, whirled around and filled
To the hilt with thrills, it′s the Outer Worlds, oh

Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah

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 stay healthy
The more chance of a malady, ooh!

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 colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding hell
Come on out to the Outer Worlds
No matter how you′ve felt, you′ll seldom fail to tell
It's a helter-skelter, whirled around and filled
To the hilt with thrills, it′s the Outer Worlds, na-na

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, oh!
