Standing on the Outside Songtext
von Cold Chisel

I′m standing on the outside lookin' in
I′m standing on the outside lookin' in
Woh-oh, I never strayed outside the law
I'm standing on the outside lookin′ in
A room full of money and the born to win
And no amount of work′s gonna get me through the door, come on

When I go walkin' down Bluewater Bay
I surface in the city at the end of the day
Woh-oh, I got a bad case of the bends
I′m standing on the sidewalk you can see
Somebody everybody want to be
They got the means to justify every end


And I got a friend broke through illegally
Pulled a job on a small-town T.A.B.
Five grand down on his own little piece of Eden
And I know
Yes I know, come on

The first thing I do when I get into town
Is buy a 22, cut the whole thing down
And no amount of work will buy my way to freedom

I'm on the outside lookin′ in
I'm standing on the outside lookin′ in
Woh-oh, woh-oh, oh yeah, come on
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I′m standing on the outside lookin′ in

Woh-oh, woh-oh, oh yeah!
Woh-oh, woh-oh, oh yeah!
Woh-oh, woh-oh, oh yeah!
