1208 - Outside Looking In lyrics

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
