Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
These insider men, they don't go anywhere
Help to keep me hungry, keep my vision clear
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
Oh, I know a lie's a lie
Oh lord, I can see it in their eyes
There's a pathway that will blind you
Where lies seem like the truth
And your dangerous enemies look like friends to you
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
These insider men, they don't go anywhere
Help to keep me hungry, keep my vision clear
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
Oh, I know there's some fine delights
There's easy satisfaction and contentment in your mind
I ain't gonna tell you what to do
Just know there'll be a day
When the hand that once gave to you
Comes to take away
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
These insider men, they don't go anywhere
Help to keep me hungry, keep my vision clear
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
Oh, I hate them heroes who fell
Oh lord, under that insider spell
I've studied on their methods
I've seen the way they've done
I've seen the way they tainted
The finest things I love
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
These insider men, they don't go anywhere
Help to keep me hungry, keep my vision clear
Lord, won't you keep me an outsider here
Hell is a circle inside
Hell is a circle, there ain't no place to hide
You run around in circles and you cry
You think you're moving forward
But you never see the light
