“Outside” by Staind

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again

All the times

That I could beg you please
In vain

All the times
That I felt insecure
For you

And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won’t end
It’s for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you

All those times
That I cry my intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside

And I feel all this pain
Stuffed it down
It’s back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can’t mend

But I feel
Tomorrow will be okay

But I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

“Lucille” by Kenny Rogers

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool, she took off her ring
I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name

When the drinks finally hit her she said “I’m no quitter
But I finally quit livin’ on dreams
I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after
I’m after whatever the other life brings”
In the mirror, I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said

“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille”

After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she’d made him look small
From the lights of the barroom
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I’d lost my mind
I couldn’t hold her ’cause the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille”

“Amanda” by Waylon Jennings

I’ve held it all inward
Lord knows I’ve tried
It’s an awful awakenin’
In a country boy’s life

When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.

Well the measure of people
Don’t understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I’m crowding thirty
And still wearin’ jeans.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.

“The Goonies ‘r’ Good Enough” by Cyndi Lauper from The Goonies

Here we are
Hanging onto strains of greed and blues
Break the chain then we break down
Oh it’s not real if you don’t feel it

Unspoken expectations
Ideals you used to play with
They’ve finally taken shape for us.

What’s good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now you’ll say
You’re startin’ to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can
You mirror me stumblin’ through those

Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you’re out of place

What’s good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(good enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good, it’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you’re out of place

What’s good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(good enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good, it’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

“Going to War” by John DiMaggio, Coolio, Mark Hamill, Billy West, and Katey Sagal from Futurama: Bender’s Big Score

Robot Santa: I brought the elves back from vacation,
chained them up and called my holiday friends.
Kwanzaabot: Kwanzaabot.
Chanuka Zombie: And the Chanuka Zombie.
Robot Santa: Three mad wise men
bearing murder and frankincense.
Robot Santa’s Elves: Damn you, doo doo doo doo.
Robot Santa: [simultaneous] Shutup.
Now fetch those bunnies by the armful.
Robot Santa’s Elves: Says who? doo doo doo doo.
Robot Santa: [simultaneous] Says me.
Napalm makes them slightly more harmful.
No one here goes near that door,
this toyshop’s goin’ to war.
Chanuka Zombie: Talmud says be slow to anger,
low-down scammers got me seeing red.
Got my TIE Fighter out of the hangar.
Jump back Jack,
’cause I’m Jewish and I’m undead.
Robot Santa’s Elves: Ten-hut, doo doo doo doo.
Chanuka Zombie: [simultaneous] Dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of blasting clay.
Robot Santa’s Elves: You’re nuts, doo doo doo doo.
Chanuka Zombie: [simultaneous] And when it’s dry and ready,
for mercy they will pray,
I can’t wait eight nights or more.
This zombie’s goin’ to war.
[Robot Santa begins beat-boxing]
Kwanzaabot: Ch, Check it out,
Kwanzaabot in the neptizzle hizzle,
with my inhuman beat-box,
busy building missiles.
They’re guided by these cute dancing fairy figures.
Careful little elf, that’s proximity-triggered.
I’m fighting back for Kwanzaa so the children won’t miss it.
I’m confused about its meaning,
but I know it when they diss it.
So Santa?
Santa: Yeah, Kay?
Kwanzaabot: Cee Zee?
Chanuka Zombie: Hey, hey.
Kwanzaabot: Let’s slay them pimps.
Come on, pimp my sleigh.
Chanuka Zombie: Easy with that toy artillery,
Torgo’s Powder’s deadly but unstable.
Robot Santa: [spoken] Can they sue for liability?
Nixon: [spoken] Certainly not!
Robot Santa: Use as much as you are able.
Robot Santa’s Elves: This bites, doo doo doo doo
Robot Santa: [simultaneous] You signed away your rights when you were hired.
Nixon & Leela: Now, let’s fight.
Robot Santa’s Elves: …doo doo doo doo.
Robot Santa: [simultaneous] Okay, chestnuts roasting I’m gonna open fire.
Prepare for gore galore.
Santa, Kwanzaabot & Chanuka Zombie: This trinity’s goin’ to war
