Hear the bubbles coming up can't see them when they breach
Act like I can't find my own air to breathe Go one for once enjoy the back of the line
Cause movement it do not heed Your version of the story shrinks daily without
the lead Did you really think I'd do the dirty work
for free Better out than inside of your blind monopoly
Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than in where your guardians have no reach
Climb upside down no parking anytime Not me won't let you be seen just my eyes
All your golden walls are worthless When beyond them you want to reach
The thirst and toil of all of this It ain't gonna fall on me
Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than inside of your blind monopoly Did you really think I'd do the dirty work
for free Better out than in where your guardians have
no reach Still felt the ghostly hands of worth beyond
your gold Refuse to move past looking down now your
chains also enthroned Now I see it's weakness how used my hand like
you wouldn't have to fold There is meaning
There is power There is beauty
In the cracks you refused to hold Did you really think I'd do the dirty work
for free Better out than inside of your blind monopoly
Did you really think I'd do the dirty work for free
Better out than in where your guardians have no reach
Better out than inside of your blind monopoly Better out than in
Hey internet I'm Mississippi Jones, the song this week is called Better Out Than In. Banksy
is doing an exhibit around New York last month and the name of the action was Better Out
Than In and so I thought that was just a really interesting concept to explore lyrically like,
um choosing to be outside of a protected environment and letting you know have the hoi polloi have
their go at whatever you're creating. And then also concepts in thee song are kind of
about reconciling what you got out of, um you know, being a part of that thing you decided
to leave. Um, what you as an individual can gain and value and differentiate yourself
with from that negative or not even necessarily negative just constricting force. I think
that 's it thanks for watching this week have a great week and i'll see you next sunday.
Bye.
