Inside Looking Out Lyrics
I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.
No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin'.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer.
Life gets worse on God's green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I said now baby ... baby ..., let me smoke it ... smoke it ...
Makes me feel good ... feel good, yes, I feel good ... ahhhhh ...
Yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ...
Yes, I feel alright ... Ahhhhh ...
Ohhhhh ...
Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up burlap bags.
The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me.
No, no, baby,
Won't keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I need you right now mama.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.
Make me feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.
You better come on up and get down with me.
I'll make you feel real good, just you wait and see.
Make me feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.
All I need is some tender lovin'.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Makes me feel good ... feel good, yes, I feel good ... ahhhhh ...
Yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ...
Yes, I feel alright ... Ahhhhh ...
Ohhhhh ...
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up burlap bags.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me.
Won't keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.
I'll make you feel real good, just you wait and see.
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.

oh yea. i also think this song is about a dude, who smokes pot, whose currently locked up and wishing he had a joint. and even if it's not what it's about -- it sure sounds good.
the guitar solo makes me so, so happy.
or. it could be that he compares a female's love/companionship to a high. or it's like a high. yea. either way, kick fucking ass guitar solo.
I like this song because the guitar, drums, and bass all get funky in the song
it's a remake of the Animals song with slight changes of wording. I prefer this version. The live version of this is terrific when the crowd yells out "nickel bags". The video's for it are sweet time capsules. You can see them preform this live at the festival in '69 on youtube, what a performance. This song is my all time favorite.
Its a kick-ass song that's all there is to it. It shows the true greatness that Grand Funk had as a rock and roll band.
It sounds like he says "Time keeps F***ing up things"...
