You’d Better Be On The Inside Looking Out lyrics

You’d better be on the inside looking out
You’d better be on the inside looking out
‘Cause if you want to be seen
To be part of the scene
You’d better be on the inside looking out

You’d better be on the inside looking out
You’d better be on the inside looking out
‘Cause if you want to be seen
To be part of the scene
You’d better be on the inside looking out

Oh, there’s too much information overloading my brain
I’m caught up in this fascist fashionista refrain
Oh stone the crows, the trendy zephyr blows
Here comes the cutting edge, you’d best be on your toes
But by the gods I’ll fight it like I’m made of dissent
Borne upon a tempest that shall never relent
Woah the beast, it roars. And opens up its jaws
By victory is ours and ours alone, because

You’d better be on the inside looking out
You’d better be on the inside looking out
‘Cause if you want to be seen
To be part of the scene
You’d better be on the inside looking out
So behold the spring collection of the drunk and damned
A reprobate reflection of the new promised land
Oh yes, my dear. It’s real and it’s here
So dangle on the strings of this perverse puppeteer
For while we’re individuals it’s easy to see
How character gets sacrificed so stylishly
Oh breath, and grow. The only way to go
Is dancing to the tune of other kings, you know

You’d better be on the inside looking out
You’d better be on the inside looking out
‘Cause if you want to be seen
To be part of the scene
You’d better be…

(Everybody says to me
"My lad, you must respect us
And reflect this in more sensible sartorial selections
But with every passing breath
You disrespect us all so terribly
And it shall not be tolerated!
So if you do not check this
And immediately elect a more acceptable aesthetic
Then, my boy, you risk your neck
For this vile insurrection shall be met with such aggression
In this age of expression we shall unite in obsession
Until you answer the question, are you in or are you out??")
So while you are crawling into bed, this night
You will know that the jailer holds the key
And while you are clutching at your head, so tight
You will know that the tangle in your mind will set you free

You’d better be on the inside looking out
You’d better be on the inside looking out
‘Cause if you want to be seen
To be part of the scene
You’d better be on the inside looking out

Come on, you’d better be on the inside looking out
You’d better be on the inside looking out
‘Cause if you want to be seen
To be part of the scene
You’d better be
You’d better be
You’d better be
You’d better be
You’d better be on the inside looking out
