Outside Looking In Songtext / Lyric

Somebody told him that their way was the right way

He never had a chance, he never had a chance

'Cause he was force fed

He had to live his death sentence to 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



From the outside looking in

It was wasted life on a 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 a swarm of a 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 a dream

On the outside looking in

He should have seen their dream as a sin



On the outside looking in

It was wasted life on a 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
