The Outsider

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 cla*s I don't have to have wavers of bra*s 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 his 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 is 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 to be hip You don't have to start losin' 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 you're cold The outsider like a friend when you're old The outsider a little devil may care The outsider it's just something that's there You don't wanna be a saint I don't wanna be something I ain't First you get a little long in the tooth Next you're tryin' to find a fountain of youth It's a pain in the butt But that's the trouble when you're stuck in a rut We don't have to find a permanent bliss But we've got to 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 you've got nothin' to prove
