[Verse 1]
Looking out at the people looking in
Feeling good must be some kind of sin
Looking in at the people looking out
Feeling guilty - scared to move about
Looking up at the people looking down
Taking tranquilizers by the pound
Looking down at the people looking up
Getting mad 'cause they can't get enough

[Chorus]
Ah, but you know that green grass on the other side
Is just an illusion
We all have our own confusion
We all have our own confusion

[Verse 2]
Rich people watching the people poor
Trying to figure out how to get some more
Poor people watching people rich
You know, they call them dirty you-know-which
Ugly people watching the people pretty
Say they can't get down to the nitty-gritty
Pretty people watching people ugly
Say I sure couldn't stand you to kiss and hug me
[Chorus]
Ah, but you know that green grass on the other side
Is just an illusion
We all have our own confusion
We all have our own confusion
