could've been should've been one, two,three, but recently something has happened to me
everything always came easily but today i woke up and felt nothing
could it be that finally finding out that there's absolutely nothing to shout about
faced with the choice of just losing my voice i'd just rather shut up and say nothing

on the outside we have to stick together
on the downside you just get in the way
i see grey skies and i feel alittle better
i see grey skies ahead and it's fine by me oh oh
the right people seem squeaky clean well all the right people mean nothing to me
cheatin' and creepin' just to stay on track they'll offer one hand and point a knife in your back
noticed that something is terribly wrong when they offer the world and you turn and they're gone
you knew from the start you could never belong
you came from the outside, just stay on the inside

stay on the outside

places just pass me by
if i told you i was sorry i'd be telling a lie
i'm way happy, i'm way outside and i'll be happy as long as i stay here
just stay right out
i'm about to give you something [bad word] about
don't you know just stay right out
better stay back and do nothing

on the outside we like to stick together
on the downside you just get in the way
i see grey skies ahead and i feel alittle better
i see grey skies ahead and it's fine by me oh
all the right people seem squeaky clean
well all the right people mean nothing to me
creepin' and cheatin' to stay on track
offer one hand and put a knife in your back
notice that something is terribly wrong when they offer the world and they turn and they're gone
you knew from the start you could never belong
you came from the outside, just stay on the outside

live on the outside
willing to offer you nothing at all
make no mistake
if your looking for answers you're in the wrong place
if your asking for answers you're in the wrong place
there's absolutely nothing i'm trying to say
just watch where you walk when you're losing the way
step up from the outside
stay on the outside
