Right On

You’re in your inn,
Trying to function
You tried to run
You jumped the gun

(Says who?
Says who?
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on)

I tried to stand strong
Through it all
And I tried to sing along -
Get on the ball!
Get on the ball...
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on

I’ve struggled to fight for peace’s sake
This heart of mine - you won’t break
I tried to function amongst the tension of rue
Not to mention all my attention spent on you

You keep on burning, burning
Your waves keep on churning
You’ll feel the burn from within
You made it through thick and thin

(Says who?
Says who?
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on)

I tried to stand strong
Through it all
And I tried to sing along -
Get on the ball!
Get on the ball...
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on

I’ve struggled to fight for peace’s sake
This heart of mine - you won’t break
I tried to function amongst the tension of rue
Not to mention all my attention spent on you

You’ll feel the burn within
Baby, you’re an outcast, outcast
Again, where have you been?
The past is sinking deep way too fast

You’re in your inn
You keep suffering
You tried to run
You had your fun

(Says who?
Move on
Says who?
Right on)
