They say there's a game,
I don't like how it's played
It's all open source,
but the content's all paid
I won't visit you there,
no that river's too wide
The name of the game is
Outside
Outside, the world is on a bender
Inside, my life's beautiful and tender
Outside, I think you're going crazy
Inside, it's all a little hazy
You tell me touch grass
so what does that mean?
I don't want to live out there
beyond the machine!
Got a pocket full of pixels
that make up all my streams
And a cloud full of movies
and songs for all my dreams
Outside, the world is on a bender
Inside, my life's beautiful and tender
Outside, I think you're going crazy
Inside, it's all a little hazy
I see it quite enough
when I'm talking to my friends
All the outside things they post
All the news and all the trends
I prefer it in my bubble
Where I like what I can see
There is world enough for you
There is world enough for me
Outside, the world is on a bender
Inside, my life's beautiful and tender
Outside, I think you're going crazy
Inside, it's all a little hazy
But sometimes out on the periphery
I think I'm sensing something that maybe I can't see
A sort of kind of longing, a yearning to be free
And perhaps outside is the place that I should be...
Outside, the world is on a bender
Inside, my life's beautiful and tender
Outside, I think you're going crazy
Inside, it's all a little hazy
