Whitey - Stay on the Outside lyrics
[Whitey - Stay on the Outside lyrics]
Could've been, should've been, one, two
Three
But recently something has happened to me
Everything always came easily
But today I woke up and felt nothing
Could it be finally finding out that
There's absolutely nothing worth
Shouting about?
Faced with the choice of just losing my voice
I'd rather shut up and say nothing
On the outside, we have to stick together
On the downside, you'll just get in the way
I see grey skies, and I feel a little better
I see grey skies ahead, and it's fine by me
Oh
All the right people seem squeaky clean
Well, all the right people mean nothing to me
Cheatin' and creepin' just to stay on track
They'll offer one hand and put
A knife in your back
You'll notice that something
Is terribly wrong when they offer the world
Then they turn and they're gone
You knew from the start
You could never belong
You came from the outside
You'll stay on the outside
Stay on the outside
People and places just pass me by
And if I told you I was
Sorry I'd be telling a lie
Perfectly happy, I'm way outside
And I'll be happy as long as I stay here
Don't you go pushing me, stay right out
I'm prepared to give you
Something to complain about
Don't you go pushing, just stay right out
Better stay back and do nothing
On the outside, we have to stick together
On the downside, you'll just get in the way
I see grey skies ahead
And I feel a little better
I see grey skies ahead, and it's fine by me
Oh
All the right people seem squeaky clean
Well, all the right people mean nothing to me
Creepin' and cheatin' to stay on track
Offer one hand and put a knife in your back
You'll notice that something
Is terribly wrong when they offer the world
Then they turn and they're gone
You knew from the start
You could never belong
You came from the outside
You'll stay on the outside
We're from the outside, welcome aboard
We're happy to offer you nothing at all
This is just entertainment
So make no mistake
If you're looking for answers
You looked the wrong way
If you're asking for answers
You're in the wrong place
There's absolutely nothing worth
Trying to say
Just watch where you're walking
And who's in your way
And stand up for the outside
Stay on the outside
Three
But recently something has happened to me
Everything always came easily
But today I woke up and felt nothing
Could it be finally finding out that
There's absolutely nothing worth
Shouting about?
Faced with the choice of just losing my voice
I'd rather shut up and say nothing
On the outside, we have to stick together
On the downside, you'll just get in the way
I see grey skies, and I feel a little better
I see grey skies ahead, and it's fine by me
Oh
All the right people seem squeaky clean
Well, all the right people mean nothing to me
Cheatin' and creepin' just to stay on track
They'll offer one hand and put
A knife in your back
You'll notice that something
Is terribly wrong when they offer the world
Then they turn and they're gone
You knew from the start
You could never belong
You came from the outside
You'll stay on the outside
Stay on the outside
People and places just pass me by
And if I told you I was
Sorry I'd be telling a lie
Perfectly happy, I'm way outside
And I'll be happy as long as I stay here
Don't you go pushing me, stay right out

Stay on the outside
