Lyrics
ON THE INSIDE
I want to know what?s on the inside
I want to know just what you feel tonite
I don?t care about the guilt, this debt you seem to owe
I just want to know what?s on the inside
Now I know I?m getting older
My outlook seems to change
What were once priorities don?t matter much to me
I don?t care about the money
I don?t care about the pride
I just want to feel what?s on the inside
I DON?T CARE ABOUT THEIR TALKING THAT?LL CHANGE IN TIME
DON?T CARE ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL GUITAR
YOU KNOW I?D TRADE IT FOR ONE NIGHT ON THE INSIDE
As we strive to have our pretty things
As we pay to be like those magazines
And as we watch TV to see what else we need
And then we tell the rest of the world how it should be
And we lie about the inside
And we grieve for the inside
And we cry
We cry
For the Inside
I DON?T CARE ABOUT THEIR TALKING THAT?LL CHANGE IN TIME
DON?T CARE ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL GUITAR
YOU KNOW I?D TRADE IT FOR ONE NIGHT ON THE INSIDE
