Lyrics

It?s Alright to be Wrong

Sometimes nothing but nothing goes right
Better days seem long ago somehow so
Far out of sight
And the shadows seem to grow deep & dark as the night
Even the sun up in the sky
You wonder why it seems now no longer bright
?Black Dog? begins to bight

Lying in bed
Trying to cover your head
Because of something you?ve done
Or something you said
Life's in the red

Falling behind
Giving up hope
Way out of line
Can no longer cope
Don?t reach for the rope

?Cos when Murphy he?s writing the law
And you?ve fallen again for a losing
Runaway cause
You walk smiling in again and again and you crawl
Out on all fours
So why try now? What?s it all for?
When you could save time just lying
Face down on the floor
You can?t take any more

Don?t disappear now
Don?t give in to fear
Come gather ?round people &
Lend me your ears?.

?Cos It?s alright! It?s alright ! It?s alright,
Though your sins they seem bigger than Kong.
It?s alright! It?s alright!
Don?t you know it?s alright
It?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

It?s alright! It?s alright ! It?s alright,
So you?ve been struck out by your friends with a gong
Maybe it?s just that your turn has come
to put the fool?s crown on.
But it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

So don?t hide yourself in shame
No need to change your name
What if they gave a war and no-one came
No-one has to take the blame
If you just don?t play the game
And there?s no-one else can make you play along

?Cos it?s alright! It?s alright ! It?s alright,
What?s done is done, but the river still flows on
Always hurts, but it helps to know
That you?re not the only one
And it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

And it?s OK to be sad
Don?t have to put the brave face on
To keep a lover happy
To keep your brother strong
And you don?t need to know
All the words to the song
You know you can still sing along

?Cos it?s alright! It?s alright ! It?s alright,
So you?re not pickin? up on those ?Good Vibrations?
Bide your time. Swallow your pride.
Sit back enjoy the ride.
?Cos it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

So take a hold of the wheel. Turn it around
Now your numbers always coming up.
Always going down
Find hope. You can climb a little higher.
On a tightrope you can walk the wire
And if you take a fall stand up take a bow
But no more tears of the clown

And those voices in your head
What have the judge and Jury said
Are they telling you ?You just don?t belong!?
However hard you hit the wall
However far you?ve still to fall
You need to know you?re never too far gone

?Cos it?s alright! It?s alright ! It?s alright,
You can still get off with a good behaviour bond.
And sometime when the time is tight.
You?re gonna have to run the red light.
But it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

Have you had a change of heart
Strayed too far from the path
Alone in the wood. You?re lost.
You can?t find a way home.
Well that?s the price you pay to see
It?s the only way to be free
But where you are today,
You don?t have to stay. Move on!

Cos? It?s alright! It?s alright ! It?s alright,
If the way to go is cause for hesitation.
Well you can take my advice.
Toss a coin or roll a dice.
?Cos it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

So take a hold of the wheel. Turn it around
All it takes is one good turn
You?re homeward bound
And the light that?s alive in your eyes
It?s a sign like a star in the sky
It?ll show you a way to sail home safe & sound
Put your feet on the ground

And you're alright-------------
So you?ve been through the wash
With the whole world looking on!
And the Mirror on the Wall, well it might
Show you're not exactly Snow White.
But it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

It?s alright--------
You can lay it back as far as Cheech and Chong.
(Don?t need no Bong!)
Or go strike a light. Either way you can fly as high as kite.
?Cos it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong!

So why act so surprised
?Cos no-one?s buying your alibis
But it?s alright don?t you know to be wrong

And the moral to this song.
If you're just a little slow to cotton on.
It?s alright don?t you know??
It?s alright ........... to be wrong!
