"On The Outside" by 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 
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
