They laugh at me out loud, they say I'm just a clown   That I ain't got no ride, 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 just steal, 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 lookin' in, I'm on the outside      I never was a punk, I never shot junk   I never even tried counter culture passed me right by   (I'm on the outside)      Don't talk to debutants   Don't eat in restaurants   The patrons sit and stare   The winners make wise cracks behind my back   (I'm on the outside)      The teachers stare in school   They throw me by the rule   They said I had no motivation frame or dedication   I think those imbeciles were right   I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside   I'm on the outside now      And this is where it all begins on the outside lookin' in   Get in and you   I'm just an alien going through   Tryin' to make believe I'm you, trying to fit   Just a stranger on the outside lookin' in      This culture makes me sick, I wear the wrong clothes   I do the wrong things, you know I cant dance   My feet are much to wide   (I'm on the outside)   And then you set the trims   You wear your hair just right, your clothes are outta sight   Your house is modern really cute   You get so macho when your with your miss   (I'm on the outside)      I see them go to work, I see them go to school   I see the moms who do it, 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   I'm on the outside lookin' in   Get in and you   I'm just and alien going through   Trying to make believe I'm you, tryin' to fit   Just a stranger on the outside lookin' 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
