Pain (American Band) - Right On lyrics

rate me

Remember Hannibal's march? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Leaving elephant footprints and leading his boys across the Alps

I think I know how he felt, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Not just because it was tough, But the way his country eventually sold him out

I think of what must have been his immense frustration.

There in a land far away with the prize so close he could almost taste it

Only to hear his leaders say

"Way to go! You did it! Even though you didn't really do it, though,

Everybody here is feelin' right on!" (so I'll)

Drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need,

But after that I know I'm goin' right on

Remember the second World War? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

A certain general George, he got in trouble for trying way too hard,

I think I know how he felt, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I know it sounds crazy but I tend to get too wrapped up in work

But me and Patton seem to share that immense frustration

(it's megalomaniacal I know)

Wanting something so bad you can almost taste it

And dragged down by the voices from below (they say)

"Way to go! You're done! You've gone as far as you will ever go!

Everybody here is feelin' right on!"

So I'll drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need

But after that I know I'm going right on!

I know that I'm not alone

The treasure of my heart is calling on the telephone

I've got my friends around me, they don't seem to hate me yet

My family lends me cash and they're not strict about the debt

And the world is a place where the most

Important thing you can learn is this:

To submit to the will of the man upstairs

And don't get too wrapped up in yourself

And so I guess this is kind of an amateur prayer

For people trying to find their own way,

Or a request for strength and a reminder to resist

What the well-meaning naysayers say when they say

"Way to go! You did it! Even though you didn't do it though!

Everybody here is feelin' right on!"

So I'll drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need.

After that I know I'm going right on!

"Way to go! You're done! You've gone as far as you will ever go!

Everybody here is feelin' right on!"

So I'll drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need.

But after that I know I'm going right on!

Right on!
