lyrics

Right Way To Wrong

I was the prodigal son
That they never expected
And just to welcome me home
They pushed me down on the ground
And beat me up

They said, “Apply yourself!
And make the grade!”
They said, “Do not think!
And never complain, no!”

So I turned the grind
Got a little bit of gold
I sat down with the banker
And he sold me a house
I could never afford

I did everything right, but now everything’s wrong

I did what they told me to live a good life
But I found out too late that I was living a lie
Now everything matters but nothing will hold
I wanna burn down my house and tear up the road

I found the right way to wrong

Now here comes the sheriff
All my stuff’s on the lawn
But I’m taking my tent with me
I got no more choices
My last dollar is spent

I did everything right, but now everything’s wrong

Working to death to make someone else richer
This ain't the way life’s supposed to be
Mesmerized by exploding dreams
Down on the floor, picking up pieces
Of the right way to wrong
