Yeah, Right
Deceptive Dreams Unraveled: Yeah, Right by The Reverend Horton Heat
Lyrics
You're telling me things
You're making promises or declarations to me.
That you're gonna do,
Describing actions or plans that you intend to carry out.
Just like you told me all the time,
Similar to the past, consistently assuring me of your loyalty.
That you'd always be true.
Promising to always be truthful.
Telling me, you, and him;
Informing me about interactions with both you and another person, claiming just friendship.
Yes, you're just friends.
Affirming that you and this person are merely friends.
Where do lies stop
Raising the question of where deception ends and honesty begins.
And the truth begins?
Yeah right!
Expressing disbelief or skepticism.
Yeah right!
Reiterating the sentiment of disbelief.
Wear my cross up around you're throat,
Wearing a cross around your neck symbolically.
Struttin' all around in the leopard coat.
Confidently displaying oneself in a leopard coat.
Noddin' my head like I know you could,
Nodding approval as if acknowledging capabilities.
But you never did nothing that you said you would.
Failing to fulfill promises or commitments.
Yeah right!
Reiterating disbelief or skepticism.
Yeah right!
Emphasizing the lack of belief in the statements made.
It sure sounds like you've got it all worked out.
Expressing a perception that the person has everything figured out.
It sure sounds like you've got it all worked out to me!
Reiterating the impression that the person has their life planned.
Gonna be a model for the neighbors and then
Aspiring to be a role model for the community and then moving to California to live with a friend.
Move to California and live with a friend.
Planning to attend school and work in Santa Fe, followed by an expedition in Paraguay.
Go to school, and work somewhere in Santa Fe.
Go on expedition down in Paraguay.
-Yeah right!
Expressing skepticism or disbelief in the likelihood of the plans coming to fruition.
Yeah right!
Reiterating doubt about the feasibility of the stated plans.
It sure sounds like you've got it all worked out.
Restating the perception that the person has everything worked out.
It sure sounds like you've got it all worked out to me!
Emphasizing the impression that the person's life plans seem unlikely.
Yeah right; you're gonna move to California
Expressing doubt about the intention to move to California and live with friends.
And live with your good friends,
Continuing skepticism about the stated plans, including going skiing with school friends.
And then your gonna go skiing
Specifically noting the school affiliation of the mentioned friends.
With your good friends from school.
The state school!
-Yeah right.
