there was something of a fancy doll

that look behind his crocodile smile

started out in leather and chains

when midnight struck he became more lame

on the outside

we're all the same

on the inside

illegal brain illegal brain

illegal brain

at the airport walk tall

pipe music throughout the mall

hold your head up for possible control

in the customs don't lose it all

on the outside

we're all the same

on the inside

illegal brain illegal brain

illegal brain

excuse me sir step aside

you've got something you're trying to hide

when i looked inside your eyes

something snapped in your mind

on the outside

we're all the same

on the inside

illegal brain illegal brain

illegal brain

you will die in the blaze of glory

then i'll tell of your story

you tied yourself to a ball and chain

now watch it all go down the drain

on the outside

we're all the same

on the inside

illegal brain illegal brain

and they go blind
