JOE: (somewhat exhausted) 

These executives have plooked the fuck out of me 

And there's still a long time to go before I've 

Paid my debt to society 

And all I ever really wanted to do was 

Play the guitar 'n bend the string like 

Reent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee 

I've got it 

I'll be sullen and withdrawn 

I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm 

Of my own secret thoughts 

I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn 

In a semi-catatonic state 

And dream of guitar notes 

That would irritate 

An executive kinda guy... 

Photos 

And sure enough JOE dreams up a few of those guitar notes 

that every executive despises... those low ones... every exec 

knows it's only the records with the high squeally ones that 

get to be hits (except for Duane Eddy)... 

Well, I guess that one did the trick 

If they only coulda heard it 

Half-a-dozen of em woulda strangled 

While they was suckin on each others' dick 

But that was just a bunch of imaginary 

Notes I played 

Just a little extra somethin' 

To keep me goin from day to day 

That's okay 

I'll be gettin outta here pretty soon 

Then I won't have to live 

In this ugly fuckin room 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Can't wait to see 

I can't wait to see what it's like 

On the outside now . . . 

Outside now . . . 

And JOE just lays there, dreaming imaginary guitar notes for years 

on end, until finally they let him out...
