When I was in school you know I always got the blame
I caused a lot of trouble and played a lot of games
Fought with the kids from the other side of town
They always tried their best, but they never put us down
Went to the movies almost every Friday night
2-Bit picked the girls and Dally picked the fights
Late at night when everybody's gone to bed
We were sitting in the park, smoking cigarettes

Livin' on the outside
Never knowin' better
Livin' on the outside
Never knowing whether
Livin' on the outside
We would live or we would die
Livin' on the outside
Fighting for our lives

Johnny and Pony tried [bad word] away
couple of guys met them on the way
Had no choice, he had to use a knife
But that's how it goes when you're fighting for your life
Trouble with the law, they ended on [bad word] Headed for the hills with just money and a gun
They say help yourself cause that's what life's about
But now Johnny's in the hospital, [bad word] out

Livin' on the outside
Never knowin' better
Livin' on the outside
Never knowing whether
Livin' on the outside
We would live or we would die
Livin' on the outside
Fighting for our lives

The word on the streets is there's [bad word] going down
Tonight at 9 O'clock, and they don't [bad word] around
Skin on skin no weapons are allowed
We're gonna drive them out of our side of town
We're gonna win, gonna fight
Gonna prove [bad word] the night
Gonna win, gonna try
But it won't mean [bad word] when everybody dies.....
