Right

I know I’m right 
So I’m keepin’ calm
I’ll bide my time 
‘Til I drop the bomb 

My flamethrower 
Is almost charged 
Into the room of your thought 
I will barge 

Why should I get angry,
When I know I’m right?

It’s pure and simple —
Plain as day 
As obvious 
As the nose on your face 

My composure,
I shall maintain 
While I stretch you 
Across the rack of pain 

(chorus)

No point in any of us 
Growing upset 
Let’s keep up manners 
And etiquette 

A side of wisdom, please 
With that stuffing 
You’re beet-red
All huffing and puffing 

When did politics 
Equal God?
When did we put our uncles
Before the firing squad?

Your Uncle Keith —
He’s always right
Now kiss my face and
Say goodnight
