Inside out, I wear my Sunday best

Inside out, I bare my soul in jest

I'm not sick, I'm just all wet

The paint is thick, it's not dry yet



Inside out, my home is on the street

Inside out, I'm not so hard to meet

Some say "Hi" or smile as they pass

Some just look, some just laugh

Some give spare change

Somewhere, no doubt

Some turn their pockets inside out



Inside out, there is no black and white

Inside out, the queen becomes the knight

We're all cut from one design

Not the same, but equally fine

And equally crude, there's no doubt

When viewed from the inside out



Inside out, the hero is a coward

Inside out, a fortress is a flower

Inside out, upside down

Outside in, round and round



Whoever's gonna win

When change comes about

It must begin from the inside out



Inside out, I wear my Sunday best

Insdie out, I've nothing to protest
