What’s Inside Is Just A Lie / And Now I’m Ready To Explode Lyrics by Stew (USA)

Passing Strange

2008

[NARRATOR, spoken]
Welcome to Mr. Venus' Riot Cabaret!
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside is just a lie
What's inside is just a lie
What's inside is just a lie
What's inside is just a lie
Ideas are dependable
Zer's a new vone every veek
Emotions are expendable
Because they aren't unique
Ideas are dependable
Zer's a new vone every veek
Emotions are expendable
Because they aren't unique
Culture is cosmetic
Culture is cosmetic
Culture is cosmetic
Culture is cosmetic
What's inside is just a lie
What's inside is just a lie
What's inside is just a lie
What's inside is just a lie!
[NARRATOR, spoken]
N'see, I know it's gonna sound a little bit crazy, but according to the Nowhaus Manifesto, and I quote: "What's inside of each and every one of us, here in this room, what we mistakenly call our thoughts, our feelings, and our dreams, have actually been put there by a system. Therefore..."
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside is just a lie
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"Our minds have been invaded, conquered, and occupied and-"
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside is just a lie
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"-And like a catchy refrain that gets trapped in your head-"
[MR. VENUS, sung]
Wh-wh-what's inside is just a lie
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"Like a catchy refrain that gets trapped in your head-"
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside is just a lie
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"Somebody else's desires get lodged in your brain."
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside is just a lie
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"So the only way to become your true self-"
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside-
[YOUTH]
-Is starting to feel real
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"Is to create your true self."
[MR. VENUS, sung]
What's inside-
[YOUTH]
-Is starting to feel real
[NARRATOR, spoken]
"You turn your life into a work of art."
(sung)
You turn your life into a work of art
You turn your life into a work of art
[YOUTH]
What's inside is just a lie!
So the real that I've been searching for
Is in the beauty of these burning streets
It's a song I couldn't write yesterday!
[MR. VENUS]
What's inside is just a lie!
[YOUTH]
Til May Day gave me the courage to bleed
[DESI]
Only love is real, yeah!
[YOUTH]
I'll write a song called *Revolution*
[MR. VENUS]
Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what's inside!
[YOUTH]
Because May Day gave me the courage to bleed
[DESI]
Only love is real, yeah!
[YOUTH] (NOWHAUS)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
To explode!
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
To explode!
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
And now I'm ready (YEAH!)
To explode!
