The Outsider

Times are changing, you bet Seems the older I get, the less I seem to fit In a young person's world And the higher I climb, the more I see design How they keep us all confined Robbing oyster of their pearls And I am the outsider A horse with no rider I am a fighter when the darkest day is done And I am the survivor Not a lay down and die-er Long distance driver, and I will overcome My daddy, he picked cotton Not a day was misbegotten But everyone's forgotten The longest climb to the Pearly Gates And next to him, I've had an easy road But I have my own heavy load A bitter kiss has been bestowed Upon the son of a rebel saint And I am the outsider A horse with no rider I am a fighter when the darkest day is done I am a survivor Not a lay down and die-er A long distance driver, and I will overcome Yes, I will Every human has a right To form a union, rise up and fight We're six minutes to midnight With an overflowing cup For every child born a bastard For every momma's life that's passed her For every inside job disaster We ain't giving up I am the outsider A horse with no rider Shelter provider when the Judegement Day has come 'Cause I am the survivor Not a lay down and die-er A little sense can finder And I am only one
