Lyrics
Now It don't seem right that we try and we die
Expressing dissatisfaction that trying leads to death.
It just don't seem right, we forget and forgive
Feeling it's unjust to forget and forgive easily.
They say it's the most blessed of gifts
Referring to life as a gift, although the speaker questions its blessed nature.
But it just don't seem right to me
Feeling a sense of moral wrongness despite what others say.
Now it don't seem right that we wait and we wait
Questioning the fairness of waiting without a desirable outcome.
It just don't seem right that your folks do it too
Highlighting that unfairness is a widespread issue among people.
They say we'll get our price somehow
Assurance that there will be retribution or justice eventually.
But it just don't seem right to me
Personal skepticism despite the promised justice.
So let us saddle our anger and ride wild in our sorrow
Encouragement to channel anger constructively to overcome grief.
If we don't look back we'll be out of here tomorrow
Emphasizing the importance of moving forward without dwelling on the past.
If you're planning to laugh, go ahead and do it now
Inviting ridicule or mockery before striving for change.
We're gonna make this happen, we're gonna do it somehow
Determination to bring about change, regardless of obstacles.
And it don't seem right that we sold out too cheap
Expressing dissatisfaction with a transaction made at a low cost.
It just don't seem right, so it's got to be wrong
Asserting that something feeling wrong indicates its inherent incorrectness.
They say all can be bought or sold
Stating the belief that everything is negotiable.
But it just don't seem right to me
Personal disbelief in the acceptability of buying and selling everything.
Let us saddle our anger and ride wild in our sorrow
Reiteration of the need to channel anger positively despite injustices.
If we don't look back we'll be out of here tomorrow
Reiterating the importance of moving forward without dwelling on the past.
If you're planning to laugh, go ahead and do it now
Openness to facing ridicule before striving for change.
We're gonna make this happen, we're gonna do it somehow
Determination to enact change despite possible mockery or challenges.
No it just don't seem right to me
Reiterating a personal sense of moral wrongness despite promised justice.
They say we'll get our price somehow
Assurance of eventual retribution or justice.
But it just don't seem right to me
Reiterating personal skepticism despite the promised justice.
It just don't seem right
Reiterating the sense that something is inherently wrong.
