Songtexte Standing On The Outside - Cold Chisel

I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Whoa-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

When I go walkin' down Bluewater Bay
I surface in the city at the end of the day
Whoa-oh, I got a bad case of the bends

I'm standing on the sidewalk, you can see
Somebody everybody wants to be
And they got the means to justify every end

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
And I know

The first thing I do when I get into town
Is buy a .22 and cut the whole thing down
No amount of work's gonna buy my way to freedom

I'm on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh yeah

I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh yeah!
