I Am Right
Unveiling the Maze of Deception: I Am Right by Saccharine Trust
Lyrics
You were always cunning like the game you'd play
You were always sly and deceptive, engaging in manipulative games.
As your mindless kindless friends would say
Your friends, lacking mindfulness and kindness, echoed your behavior.
You got what you wanted but not what you needed
You achieved your desires but not what was truly necessary for you.
No matter how hard you pleaded
No matter how desperately you asked, it didn't change the outcome.
Your eighteen and you know it all
Despite being eighteen, you believe you know everything.
So how in the hell could you ever fall
Questioning how someone so knowledgeable could make a mistake.
For such a thoughtless gutless fool
You fell for someone heartless and cowardly.
Who taught you about drugs and kept you out of school
Blaming a person who introduced you to drugs and kept you away from education.
Isn't that right
Rhetorical confirmation of the accusations.
I am right
Asserting correctness.
I am right
Reiteration of being right.
I am right
Further emphasis on being right.
No one no one is gonna tell me otherwise
Declaring that no one can convince otherwise.
No one no one is gonna fill this boy with lies
Insisting that no one can deceive or mislead you.
The trash can jazzman really really was a has been
The jazzman in the trash can is no longer relevant, despite your efforts.
Though you laid him down like he was the last man
You treated him as if he were insignificant.
Through your family never took it calmly
Your family reacted strongly when your actions put you in danger.
When they pulled the covers you were in jeopardy
A situation where you were in peril and your family discovered it.
With your back in a brace you arms in a sling
You ended up injured, needing support.
You doctor saying haven't you had your fling
Your doctor questions your reckless behavior.
Well you have all your time to the protest line
Although you dedicate time to protests, it brings no meaningful outcome.
But what did you get from screaming screaming screaming
Questioning the effectiveness of constant screaming and protesting.
I am right I am right
Reaffirmation of being right.
I am right I am right
Repeated assertion of correctness.
No one no one is gonna tell me otherwise
No one can persuade you otherwise.
No one no one is gonna fill this boy with lies
Emphasizing immunity to deception.
So forth and so forth you really had a cold heart
Commenting on a once cold-hearted demeanor.
Once on your knees you weren't such a bad sport
Despite past flaws, you weren't entirely unsportsmanlike.
You started crying when they caught you lying
Admitting to crying when caught lying.
No one ever said you weren't trying
Acknowledging effort, even if not successful.
With your mind on the freeway your mouth on a cliché
Your thoughts are on the freedom of expression, but your words are clichéd.
You walked in the party talking like a D.J.
Entering a party and adopting a DJ-like speech.
You had your rations of middle class fashions
Engaging in middle-class fashion trends.
I am right I am right
Reiteration of being right.
I am right I am right
Repeated emphasis on correctness.
No one no one is gonna tell me otherwise
No one can convince you otherwise.
No one no one is gonna fill this boy with lies
Emphasizing resistance to being filled with falsehoods.
