I Am Right

Lyrics

You were always cunning like the games we'd play As your mindless kindless friends would say You got what you wanted but not what you needed No matter how hard you pleaded You're eighteen and you know it all So how in the hell could you ever fall For such a thoughtless gutless fool Who taught you about drugs and kept you out of school? Isn't that right? I am right I am right I am right No one, no one is gonna tell me otherwise No one, no one is gonna fill this boy with lies The trash can jazzman really was a has-been Though you laid him down like he was the last man Through your family never took it calmly When they pulled the covers, you were in jeopardy Your back in a brace, your arms in a sling Your doctor screaming "Haven't you had your fling?" Well you gave all your time to the protest line But what did you get from screaming screaming screaming I am right I am right I am right I am right No one, no one is gonna tell me otherwise No one, no one is gonna fill this boy with lies So forth and so forth, you really had a cold heart Once on your knees, you weren't such a bad sport You started crying when they caught you lying No one ever said you weren't trying With your mind on the freeway, your mouth on a cliché You walked in the party talking like a DJ You had your rations of middle-class fashions Do painted slogans really say I am right I am right I am right I am right No one, no one is gonna tell me otherwise No one, no one is gonna fill this boy with lies
