| 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 |
