Lou Reed

Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed (born March 2, 1942) is an American rock musician, songwriter, and photographer. He is best known as guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter of The Velvet Underground, and for his solo career, which has spanned several decades. Though the Velvet Underground were a commercial failure in the late 1960s, the group has gained a considerable cult following in the years since its demise and has gone on to become one of the most widely cited and influential bands of the era. As the Velvet Underground's principal songwriter, Reed wrote about subjects of personal experience that rarely had been examined so openly in rock and roll, including sexuality and drug culture. more »

Outside, the world's a mindless child
Outside
Outside, reflects the worst of styles
Outside
Inside when you're in my arms
A mindless child is still to be born
Inside, baby, when we come inside

Outside, the politics of greed
Outside
Outside, misbehavior seethes
Outside
Mindless repression dominates the street
While I kneel down and kiss your feet
Inside, baby, when we come inside
Outside

Outside, they don't think they breed
Outside
Outside, emotion determines need
Outside
Outside, the world's a mindless child
That we could bring to life in your arms
Inside, baby, when we come inside

Outside, the politics of hate and greed
Outside
Outside, the world's a mindless child
Outside
But when I hold you in my arms
It's a mindless child that you want
Inside, no matter 'bout the world outside

Inside, a baby's what you want inside
