Somebody told him that their way was the right way

He never took a chance, her never had a

chance

Cause he was force fed he had to live his

death sentence

See, he was a new face with a nice smile

He got sucked in got spit out

He was the winner by the standars of gold-digger

A success story in six figures

Outside looking in

It was wasted life on the dream

Outside looking in

He was wasted

Turn your back to the world

So then he grew old, he thought he grew wise

He thought he'd know a bad seed in swarm of flies

They couldn't wait to consider him family

Take what they could get and keep walkin'

And on his death bed surrounded by his friends

He saw the faces and no substance, let go

With a smile of serenity, he needed change for enternity

On the outside looking in

It was wasted life on a dream

On the outside looking in

He should of seen their dream as a sin

On the outside looking in

It was wasted life on the dream

On the outside looking in

He was wasted

Turn you back on the world

It's what he didn't know, he didn't know that killed him

It's what he didn't know, he didn't know that killed him

It's what he didn't know, he didn't know that killed him

It's what he didn't know

It's what he didn't know (on the outside looking in)

It's what he didn't know (it was wasted life on a dream)

It's what he didn't know (on the outside looking in)

It's what he didn't know (he was wasted)

Turn your back on the world
