The Outsider Lyrics

You don't have to be rich
I don't have to be drunk in a ditch
You don't have to be the top of your class
I don't have to have huevos of brass
You don't have to be cute
I don't have to look good in a suit
You don't have to have a dog in this race
I don't have to have an egg on my face
The outsider, is watching your back
The outsider, cut me some slack
The outsider, just a little off keel
The outsider, just something you feel

I don't have to be straight
You don't have to be something I hate
I don't have to be white as a ghost
You don't have to be dumb as a post
I don't have be hip
You don't have to start losing your grip
I don't have to be right if you're wrong
You don't have to be weak if I'm strong
The outsider, like a coat when your cold
The outsider, like a friend when your old
The outsider, a little devil may care
The outsider, is just something that's there
You don't wanta be a saint
I don't wanta be something I ain't
First you get a little long in the tooth
Next you tryin to find the fountain of youth
It's a pain in the b***
That's the trouble when you're stuck in a rut
We don't have to find a permanent bliss
But we've gotta do better than this

The outsider, like a stone you don't throw
The outsider, like a bomb you don't blow
The outsider, like a mountain don't move
The outsider, ya got nothing to prove
