On The Outside Lyrics - Singles - Information Society

Still dark outside the window 

Fucking alarm clock, start the day in fear 

It's not the fun or any sense of community 

They're just trying to dull the pain 

The scientists say that it's a 

Different animal altogether 

And driven by forces deep 

Within the chest that won't let it sleep and... 

See the arm is sliced and 

See the taken life and 

See emaciation 

Little scars are showing 

On the outside 

So now they've grown up in these 

Brilliantly beautiful sterile communities 

Floating like the sleepers through the 

Flowers and emptiness, the boring futility 

So now they're educated 

12 years of chains and lost opportunities 

What they have learned is how to 

Jump when the bell rings and fear the breakdown 

See the pain inflicted and 

See the vein restricted and 

See the pain inside 

Caressed, unfolded, delivered 

To the outside 

It's known that nothing can be done 

There's just no room for the unconverted 

It's known that anything is possible 

But there's nothing worth doing here 

See the forgotten sun and 

See the forsaken ones and 

See them driving cars 

As big as they are, as fast as they'll go and 

See the eyes turned in and 

See cigarette-burnt skin and 

See self-loathing love 

Assumed, turned up, and used
