Blow Up The Outside World

Kim Thayil: "A nice ironic, final single in a way. People said there was a Beatles-ish element. I suppose there is a bit of Paul McCartney and a little bit of Lennon in the flavor of the song. Everyone in the band grew up with the Beatles and we had a certain degree of respect and admiration for them that's not uncommon. I think many people were Beatles fans, especially for that period in time. There's a number of acoustic guitars on the track as well and then, towards the end of the song, it gets louder and aggressive and goes to these power chords, and is maybe a little reminiscent of AC/DC."

[Verse 1] Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try Nothing is closing my eyes Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight No [Verse 2] And nothing seems to break me No matter how far I fall Nothing can break me at all Not one for giving up though not invincible I know [Chorus] I've given everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down in and Blow up the outside Blow up the outside world [Verse 3] Someone tried to tell me something "Don't let the world bring you down" Nothing can do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help No [Chorus] I've given everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down in and Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside world [Solo] [Chorus 2] Want to make it understood Wanting though I never would Trying though I know it's wrong Blowing it to hell and gone Wishing though I never could Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside world [Outro] Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside Blow up the outside...
