|
They laugh at me aloud |
|
They say i'm just a clown |
|
That i ain't got no pride |
|
I'm on the outside |
|
The girls look really cute |
|
They really make it work |
|
They think i'm just a jerk |
|
I'm on the outside |
|
I never could sit still |
|
I never was too hip |
|
I never caught the ride |
|
I'm on the outside |
|
I'm on the outside, i'm on the outside now |
|
This is where it all begins right here |
|
On the outside lookin' in, i'm on the outside |
|
I never was a punk |
|
I never shot junk |
|
I never even tried counter |
|
Culture passed me right by |
|
(i'm on the outside) |
|
Don't talk to debutantes |
|
Don't eat in restaurants |
|
The patrons sit and stare |
|
The waiters make wise cracks behind my back |
|
(i'm on the outside) |
|
Teachers there in school |
|
They flunked me by the rule |
|
They say i had no motivation, brains or dedication |
|
I guess the imbeciles were right i'm on the outside |
|
I'm on the outside, i'm on the outside now |
|
This is where it all begins on the outside looking in |
|
Looking in |
|
At you |
|
I'm just an alien through and through |
|
Tryin' to make believe i'm you |
|
Tryin' to fit |
|
Just a stranger on the outside looking in |
|
The disco makes me sick i |
|
Wear the wrong clothes |
|
I say the wrong things |
|
You know i can't dance |
|
My feet are much too wide (i'm on the outside) |
|
You think you set the trends |
|
You wear your hair just right |
|
Your clothes are out-a-sight |
|
Your house is modern really kitch |
|
You get so macho when you're with your bitch |
|
(i'm on the outside) |
|
I see them go to work |
|
I see them go to sleep |
|
I see them on t.v. |
|
I see them laugh and cry |
|
I'm on the outside. i'm on the outside. i'm on the outside |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
I'm on the outside. i'm on the outside now |
|
I'm on the outside |
|
I'm on the outside now |
