Verse

I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Whoa-oh, I never strayed outside the law
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
A room full of 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-oh, I got a bad case of the benz
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

(Single strums)
And I know ...
And I know ...
(Resume full strumming)
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 free-ee-dom

Chorus

I'm on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh yeah
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
   

Outro
