A crude but effective visual representation of the song "Professional Outsiders" by The Ropes.

Legend, why do you stand so close?
Icon, why do you stand so close?
You're looking like amateurs
So, we backed up, showed you the ropes

Don't believe anyone who's over three years old
Never trust someone who hasn't sat alone

You and me
We are the real experts
We will be professional outsiders

So far away
Far away
That's where well stay
We will stay

Outsiders why do you stand so close?
Outsiders why do you stand so close?

If you want something done right you have to do it yourself
So, we dropped back
We'll do it ourselves

Never trust a loner who'd rather be in love
Don't believe a rebel who's friends with everyone

You and me
We are the real experts
We will be professional outsiders

So far away
Far away
That's where we'll stay
We will stay

  • By far my favorite band of all time.

  • Ohh my God! Guys, you're amazing. Friggin awesome indie music and concept. Kudos (y)

  • After leaving my comment, I read some of the other comments. I spoke of “an exposed nerve.” Others used the word “raw.” Wow. We all get it! We all feel it! I thought I might be alone. There are more of us than I thought. The realization that others feel the same thing that I do when listening to The Ropes kind of blows my mind. Do you ever feel that The Ropes music is absorbing you while you absorb it?

  • This song is so real. It is an exposed nerve. It is beyond praise. If you have wondered what genius sounds like, here you go. –Eric Chicago

  • GREAT!! This is GREAT!

    -Eric Chicago

  • @whereswaldozz Pretty much yeah XD

  • @IvanSamasTutorials Are you a loner who'd rather be in love?

  • That line is why I'll always be just an outsider, and never a professional.

  • @IvanSamasTutorials thats my favorite line.

  • Never have I seen something so artsy and raw that involved stick figures. Only the ropes could bring that to you.
