Track Lyrics
Standing on the Outside Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in, oh-woh-oh
I never strayed outside the law
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
When I go walkin' down Bluewater Bay
I surface in the city at the end of the day, oh-woh-oh
I got a bad case of the benz
[Verse 4]
I'm standing on the sidewalk you can see
A somebody everybody wants to be
And they got the means to justify every end
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge]
And I know
And I know
[Verse 6]
The first thing I do when I get into town
Is buy a twenty-two and cut the whole thing down
No amount of work's gonna buy my way
To Freedom!
[Chorus]
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
Oh-woh-oh, oh-woh-oh, oh yeah!
[Chorus]
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
[Outro]
Oh-woh-oh, oh-woh-oh, oh yeah!
Oh-woh-oh, oh-woh-oh, oh yeah!
Oh-woh-oh, oh-woh-oh, oh yeah!
Rising Sun Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
Chase the rising sun
We'll chase the rising sun
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
[Verse 2]
I set out this mornin'
Beside the garden spring
My heart, it was so troubled, Lord
I began to sing
I began to sing
I began to sing
My heart, it was so troubled, Lord
That I began to sing
[Verse 3]
Once I had a song
And I played it all the time
Once I had a girl
She was trouble on my mind
Trouble on my mind
Trouble on my mind
Once I had a girl
She was trouble on my mind
[Verse 4]
Went to see my Maggie
And I asked her for her hand
She went runnin' down the hill
Said, "Catch me if you can"
She said, "Catch me if you can"
Run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
[Banjo Solo]
[Verse 5]
And it's run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
Chase the risin' sun
And it's run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
Chase the risin' sun
Chase the risin' sun
[Outro]
Chase the risin' sun
Tomorrow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nuclear war heading our way
Heatings off till' i get paid
Cost of living rising when
Fat cats line their pockets
Well my patience is wearing thin
[Chorus]
I wanna see tomorrow but it's hard to see beyond today
If you wanna see tomorrow, you better stay away from me
[Verse 2]
Demands of life getting to me
Someones got a price to pay
I've done away with common sense don't care bout the consequence
I feel like there's no other way
[Chorus]
I wanna see tomorrow but it's hard to see beyond today
If you wanna see tomorrow, you better stay away from me
[Bridge]
I'll tell you what i wanna do
Beat thŠµ cunts until they're black and blue
I don't know who you'rŠµ talking to
Cos they want nowt to do with you
Fucking get a grip, you knew
[Chorus]
I wanna see tomorrow but it's hard to see beyond today
If you wanna see tomorrow, you better stay away from me
[Outro]
Nuclear war heading our way
Heatings off till' i get paid
Cost of living rising when
Fat cats line their pockets
Well my patience is wearing thin
Ita Lyrics
1 ContributorItās The Child In Me LyricsDeep in the city people live in the streets
You got to be careful of everyone you meet
There's lootin and shootin, people stabbin and grabbin
The innocent bystander, the police are grabbin
Rap is so heavy so you but just let keep my beats going strong so sing along
Busy in a haze so be so brave you got to keep it like a mouse is in a maze
The streets are not easy
Ain't it a pity, cause you hate the city
But the way you feel, ain't no big deal
Working the streets tonight on the beat got blisters on my feet
Circling like an Indian in search of fire blowing it up in its fullest desire
I'm on a hot wire with the sound effects such as Rex in for flex
Got to be a soldier in the army of God searching the minds of the death squad
But a house in the hills had to pay off all those bills
With cheap thrills taking all those pills
Blind folks from society want to sweat next to me working on my degree
It's the child in me so plain to see I'm going to be in history
People make fun of me but don't even know me
I'm chosen out from my second cousin with one bun in the oven
