On The Outside Oingo Boingo

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside now

[Chorus 1]
This is where it all begins
Right here
On the outside, lookin' in
I'm on the outside

[Verse 2]
I never was a punk, I never shot junk
I never even tried, counterculture 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 wisecracks behind my back
(I'm on the outside)
The 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
