I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Whoa, I never strayed outside the law
Bass in 2nd verse:
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
A room fulla money and I'm born to win
And no amount of work's gonna get me through the door
When I go walkin' down Blue Water bay
I surface in the city at the end of the day
Whoa, I got a bad case of the bends
I'm standing on the sidewalk you can see
Somebody everybody wants to be
But they got the means to justify every end
I got a friend broke through illegally
Pulled a job on a small town T.A.B.
Five grand down on his own little piece of Eden
Bridge:
And I know x 2
The first thing I'll do when I get into town
Is buy a 22 and cut the whole thing down
No amount of work's gonna buy my way to freedom
Short break
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Whoa, whoa, ohyeah
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Break:
NNN
Whoa, whoa, ohyeah x 3
