Lyrics Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson

Right and Wrong

Stop everything...

I think I hear the President

The pied piper of the TV screen

Is gonna make it simple

And he's got it all mapped out

And illustrated with cartoons

Too hard for clever folks to understand

Yeah, they're more used to words like:

Ideology...

But they say it's not the issue

Ideology...

They're not talkin' 'bout right or left

They're talkin' 'bout...

Right and wrong - do you know the difference

Right and wrong - do you know the difference

'Tween the right and the left and the East and the West

What you know and the things that you'll never see

So what ya think-

You like the Yankees or the Mets this year?

And what about this latest war of words,

And what about the Commies?

You know, I saw the news last night

All illustrated with cartoons

So when they come with that opinion poll

Yeah, they better not use words like:

Ideology...

Or try to tell me 'bout the issues

Ideology...

Whose side are you on

'Cause we're talkin' 'bout...

Where are we?
