Outside Songtext
von Lou Reed

Outside the world′s a mindless child, outside
Outside reflects the worst of styles, outside
Inside when you're in my arms
A mindless child is still to be born, inside
Baby, when we come inside


Oh, outside the politics of greed, outside
Outside misbehavior seethes, outside
Mindless repression dominates the street
While I kneel down and kiss your feet
Inside, baby, when we come inside
Outside

Outside they don′t think, they breed, outside
Outside emotion determines need, outside
Outside the world's a mindless child
That we could bring to life in your arms
Inside, baby, when we come inside


Outside the politics of hate and greed, outside
Outside the world's a mindless child, outside
But when I hold you in my arms
It′s a mindless child that you want
Inside, no matter ′bout the world outside
Inside, a baby is what you want inside
