Inside Lyrics

Man, what kinda crap is this?
I don't know. I, I thought it was really gonna be different this time.
(It is) Ah, yeah.
(Ha-ha-ha!) Yeh-hey
I don't know man. We're dyin', we're dyin'
Hey, you got a point there (This is fat!)
You've actually got three points there. Ah-ha! (Yep!) Whaaeeee!
Oh yeah, hey. What they, where he'd get that clothes?
Outta your closet (Ha-ha-ha!)
Yeah. You mean, you mean my wife's closet
No, J.C. Penny man. J.C. Penny

That's what's comin' down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside

Now listen here. It's not what you are, ya see, it's how ya dress
'Cuz that's one thing I learned from these guys, I must confess
Now me look, I got this job not just bein' myself, huh!
I went out I bought some brand new shoes
Now I walk like someone else, hey!

Maybe I'm crazy or just too high
But all this here can't be worth my piece of the pie

Sittin' around just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified!
I guess less is more, ha ha

Somethin' special, gimme someone new
Some brand new groove to sink my teeth into

Sittin' around just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified!

(Ha-ha-haaaaaaaaa!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't touch me there, okay? Just don't do that, okay?)
(Oh, why?)
(Just pay my accountant)

That's what's come down on the inside
(I don't know. I might be able to make it through. What the hay?)
Don't let this get around to the outside. Please, please, please

This ain't no party, this ain't no show
So don't you try to put no m-m-m-m-m-m-mojo
(That's what's comin' down) On my butt, anyway. Heh heh

(Alimony!)

(Guitar Solo)

(Are you alright?)
That's what's comin' down
(I, I, I, I don't feel so good. I'm serious man. I don't, I don't feel too good)
On the inside
(Hey, let's blow it out here now man, alright?)
Don't let this get around, to the outside
(Eddie! Can't you read lips?) (Hey, hey, hey)
(I came into this thing with an open mind)
(Mike! Mike! What was that shit you gave me last night?)
That's what's comin' down
(Ah, man)(Ha, ha-ha!)
On the inside
(Get out! Operator calling. Get out! Operator)
Don't let this get around, to the outside
(Ah, ha-ha!)
That's what's comin' down
(okay)(Hello? Hello?)
On the inside
(This is the operator)
(Hey Sammy, I found a hat and a pair of shoes. Are they yours?)
Don't let this get around, to the outside
That's what's comin' down
On the inside
Don't let this get around (Hey! Somebody get me a cheeseburger!)
to the outside
(Hey, is Greg back yet?)
(Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony!)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!) That's what's comin' down
On the inside
Don't let this get around
(Ahh! Ahhhhh!)
(Yeow! Yeah!)
to the outside

Seems to me a treatise on the music business.

"I guess less is more, Something special, something new Some brand new group to sink my teeth into"

i take it as a editorial on the vapid, clueless suits in the music industry who "pick the talent"

My Interpretation

To further my point it’s what is going on, on “The Inside” of VH now.

@Thepathy

I agree with you.

No one's commented on this song?! I know, it doesn't really need an explanation, but it would be nice if someone else commented on it!

@DaveJunior

Guys this song is clearly a slap in David Lew Roths face!!! You see Sammy got this job by not just being himself no he went out and bought some brand new shoes and he walk like someone else. Listen to the entire songs lyrics and you will get it. He tries to compromise But Dave don’t know what compromise is. Remember this is the first disc post Dave with Sammy.

All right, here's my meaning to the song. It's about how people judge other people by how they dress. And how new clothes can change your personality? I'm not sure about the second one, but it sounds good.

The song is about Sammy Hagar replacing David Lee Roth in 1985 after he took off.
