Lyrics to ON THE INSIDE
HOOKAPS
On the inside
This is your life
You ain’t going nowhere
CHORUS
Everyone on the outside
Just don’t care about you…
HOOKAPS
On the inside
Nowhere to hide
You just gotta understand
CHORUS
It is here
You’ll be a man
HOOKAPS
What you want I got it
What ever you need I’ll get it
You will go mad If you let it
The life outside
Just forget it…
They call me
CHORUS
Hookaps hookaps!!
HOOKAPS
Cuz I hook them up
With anything that they want
Put me anywhere and I’ll survive
I don’t mind it so bad, here on the inside…
CHORUS
Better keep your fears on the inside
Better hide your tears
HOOKAPS
Better learn how to fight for your life
Or somebody in here is gonna make you their wife.
CHORUS
Oooooohhh one day we’ll be free one day..
HOOKAPS
Yeah right..
CHORUS
Ooooohhhh…one day we’ll be free one day..
HOOKAPS
Sure whatever..
CHORUS
Oohhhh…I’ll be with my baby again..
HOOKAPS
She’s gone..
CHORUS
Ooohhhhh…one day my time will end…
HOOKAPS
So its time to move on…
CHORUS
Ooooohhhh…one day we’ll be free one day.. 2x
Ooooohhhh…I’ll be with my baby again..
Oooohhhhh…one day my time will end…
HOOKAPS
On the inside
This is your life
You’re not going nowhere
CHORUS
On the inside
