The Other Side

The other side is cramped
 
 The other side is lonely
 The other side is a big fat lie
 
 The other side is phony
 Everything is scripted
 Access is restricted
 I've seen all the cables and the wires
 I got a really bad reception
 When I went over to the other side
 I turned my front room to the dark side of the moon
 Floating in a vacuum night after night
 I found it very hard to concentrate
 Thinking what I was missing on the other side
 I wanna be where they make decisions
 I wanna be where they fill the box
 I ended up with a bunch of coked-up public school boys
 All trying very hard to grow dreadlocks
 So let me tell you
 There is nothing on the other side
 There is nothing on the other side
 I've seen the listings
 There is nothing on the other side
 No, not tonight
 Or any other night
 ♪
 The other side is claustrophobic
 The other side is tacky show-business
 And all you really need to know is this:
 That I've been playing for the other side
 No, it can't be denied
 Where everything was scripted
 And access was restricted
 And I saw all the cables and the wires
 I was the other side of the world
 I was the other side of the door
 I have been the other side of the bed
 I have been the other side of the wall
 I got a really bad reception
 When I went over to the other side
