It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Sleep all day, ride all night
Yeah we're living it up on the outside
I remember the days in the class of '04
In the back of the jeep crashing out on the floor
We had nothing in our pockets to cling to
And baby nothing but the sky in the rearview
In the halls with a rock tee, dickies and chucks
All the meatheads and mean girls like: Dude your band sucks
Had a bandana hanging out of my grad gown
Like you can push me all you want, I won't fall down no
It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Sleep all day, ride all night
Yeah we're living it up on the outside
And you can knock it if you really want to
But we're the life of the party
It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Watch the sunset fade to a parking lot glow
We were kings and queens of the strip mall row
Trading million-dollar ideas for eighth bags
Our little fortunes built on lighters and dog tags
With our fists in the air and the radio up
We were dying to live, we were living on luck
When they would try to pick a fight in the hallway
We'd just throw a finger in the air and say
It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Sleep all day, ride all night
Yeah we're living it up on the outside
And you can knock it if you really want to
But we're the life of the party
It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Living by the motto die tomorrow so we party hard
Andrew WK with the keg in my parent's yard
Till the jocks all came over kicked our asses
A suckerpunch can make you sober up the fastest
That's life and we're just living the life
That's life and we're just living it (we're just living it)
That's life and we're just living the life (livin' the life)
That's life and we're just living it (yeah)
That's life and we're just living the life (no one likes me)
That's life and we're just living it (voted most likely)
That's life and we're just living the life
To be the soundtrack to your myspace memories
It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Sleep all day, ride all night
Yeah we're living it up on the outside
And you can knock it if you really want to
But we're the life of the party
It's okay, it's alright
Baby welcome to life on the outside
Yeah yeah yeah yeah-yeah (on the outside)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah-yeah (on the outside)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah-yeah (on the outside)
Welcome to life on the outside
