You were always cunning like the game you'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

Your 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 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

With your back in a brace you arms in a sling

You doctor saying haven't you had your fling

Well you have 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 clich

You walked in the party talking like a D.J.

You had your rations of middle class fashions

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
