lyrics

It hurts to be irrelevant
To see the world take a different path
You can try to turn back the clock
But we evolve like it or not

I'm in the right
And you're in the wrong
Think what you like
But I'm in the right

Don't believe everything that you read
If you ever read anything
What you call your common sense
Sounds to me a lot like ignorance

You have the right
To say what you want
But that doesn't change
The fact that you're wrong

I was taught to be polite… but
I've bit my tongue one too many times
Silence is no defense
Your volume fills the empty space

I'm mystified by your confidence
All your designs lack intelligence
Blind faith is your fundamental flaw
I don't see any method here at all

Say what you like
But I'm in the right
Think what you want
But you're in the wrong

I'm in the right
And you're in the wrong
