Outside Looking In

Somebody told him that their way was the right way
 He never had a chance, he never had a chance
 'Cause he was force fed
 He had to live his death sentence to see
 He was a new face with a nice smile
 He got sucked in, got spit out
 He was the winner by the standards of a gold digger
 A success story in six figures
 From the outside looking in
 It was wasted life on a dream
 On the 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 a swarm of a flies
 They couldn't wait to consider him family
 Take what they could get and keep walking
 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 eternity
 On the outside looking in
 It was wasted life on a dream
 On the outside looking in
 He should have seen their dream as a sin
 On the outside looking in
 It was wasted life on a dream
 On the outside looking in, he was wasted
 Turn your back to 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
