Outside Looking In -

Somebody told him that their way was the right way

He never took a chance, he never had a chance

Cause he was force fed

He had to live his death sentence, see

He was a new face with a nice smile

He got sucked in, got spit out

He was the winner by the standards of a gold-digger

A success story in six figures

On the outside looking in

It was wasted life on the dream

On the outside looking in

He was wasted

Turn your back to the world

So then he grew old, he thought he grew wise

He thought he’d know a bad seed in swarm of flies

They couldn’t wait to consider him family

Take what they could get and keep walking

And on his death bed surrounded by his friends

He saw the faces and no substance, let go

With a smile of serenity

He needed change for eternity

On the outside looking in

It was wasted life on the dream

On the outside looking in

He should of seen their dream as a sin

On the outside looking in

It was wasted life on the dream

On the outside looking in

He was wasted

Turn your back to the world

It’s what he didn’t know, he didn’t know that killed him

It’s what he didn’t know, he didn’t know that killed him

It’s what he didn’t know, he didn’t know that killed him

It’s what he didn’t know

It’s what he didn’t know (on the outside looking in)

It’s what he didn’t know (it was wasted life on a dream)

It’s what he didn’t know (on the outside looking in)

It’s what he didn’t know (he was wasted)

Turn your back on the world
