[verse]
Everyone's a critic, but hey they really respect your talent
Have your manager call my manager, and we'll make records together
At this level of success in entertainment, there are certain connotations
It's a "you give we take" relationship
No the kids wouldn't understand it
Come on now, how long do think this is really gonna last?
How long can you hold their attention before they move on to the next band?

[Chorus x 2]
On the inside
On the inside
On the inside
Do you wanna know how it feels on the inside?

[verse]
Coordinate the marketing, label, publicity, touring
Consult on, timing and presentation
Go ahead put this in context
It's 3 points on production, 15% to management
10% to the agent, 5% to legal representation
We call it our insurance plan to stretch the inevitable as far as we can
Gotta make your money while you got the chance
Do whatever it takes to sell it

[Chorus x 2]
On the inside
On the inside
On the inside
Do you wanna know how it feels on the inside?
[verse]
Just how desperate can we be?
Go buy our record and see
Just how angry can we seem?
Go buy our record and see
Just how fucked up can it get?
Go buy our record and see
Just how much can we bleed?
We're completely irrelevant on LP and compact disc

[Chorus x 4]
On the inside
On the inside
On the inside
Do you wanna know how it feels on the inside?
