On The Outside — текст песни (Oingo Boingo)

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 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 debutantes
Don`t eat in restaurants
The patrons sit and stare
The waiters make wise cracks behind my back
(I`m on the outside)

Teachers there in school
They flunked me by the rule
They say 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
Tryin` to make believe I`m you
Tryin` 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 out-a-sight
Your house is modern really kitch
You get so macho when you`re with your bitch
(I`m on the outside)

I see them go to work
I see them go to sleep
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

(Repeat chorus)

I`m on the outside. I`m on the outside now
I`m on the outside
I`m on the outside now
