Don't be right, it isn't good for you
You may not realize it, but it's not
When you're right, you barely know what to do
Just sit around thinking and cry a lot
A ball and chain, a fiery inferno for you
Holding you down and burning you up
You play the game and then you wish that you didn't win
Then you try harder to give in and give up
But it's all the same to me now
Yeah, it's all the same to me now
A stubborn fight, a gift never meant for given
Taken back to have and to hold
A change in the light, from dim to an endless dimming
If you want to find me, got to come in from the cold
Salt and spice, the taste on your tongue is burning
Turning your back on love, you follow the light
But what once feels right, surely now wrong is turning
Heavy with moral learning, you grumble and bite
But it's all the same to me now
Yeah, it's all the same to me now
Don't be right, it isn't good for you
You may not realize it, but it's not
When you're right, you barely know what to do
Just sit around thinking and cry a lot
A ball and chain, a fiery inferno for you
Holding you down and burning you up
You play the game and then you wish that you didn't win
Then you try harder to give in and give up
