[Verse 1]
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
Alright
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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, baby's what you want inside
