oingo boingo - on the outside lyrics
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 looking in
i’m on the outside
i never was a punk
i never shot junk
i never even tried
counter-culture p-ssed 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 wisecracks behind my back (i’m on the outside)
the teachers there at school
they flunked me by the rule
they said 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
trying to make believe i’m you, trying 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 outta sight
your house is modern, really kitschy
you get so macho when your with your b-tch (i’m on the outside)
i see them go to work
i see them go to school
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
(i’m on the outside)
i’m on the outside, i’m on the outside
(i’m on the outside)
i’m on the outside, i’m on the outside
(i’m on the outside)
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
trying to make believe i’m you, trying to fit
just a stranger on the outside looking in
i’m on the outside
i’m on the outside now
i’m on the outside
i’m on the outside now
i’m on the outside
i’m on the outside now
