Dan Bull - The Outer Worlds lyrics

(One, two one, two, three, four
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah)

Did you ever 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 alone to Halcyon
The worlds await 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, nah

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 clarity
A few things first
You can skip 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 colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah
Nah! 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, ow!
(Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah
Come on out to the Outer Worlds, yeah)

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, nah
Nah! 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, ow!

A little observation
You wish to rap but it is I 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 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 enamal
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, nah
Nah 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, ow!
(Come on out to the outer worlds, yeah
Come on out to the outer worlds, yeah)

Get stronger, live longer
Lift up those digit's, 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 rabbit's 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 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 colour really helps to sell
The promotional utopia surrounding Hell, nah
Nah (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, ow!
