the good and the right

swallowing my morning cup

i saw a mother out with her child

while she was yelling down the phone

he held the game that occupied his mind

and i wonder what will happen to his life

and i can't help thinking something just ain't right

turning on the radio

i'm fed up with these single-minded lines

does anybody stop and think

there's more to words and just a stupid rhyme

and i wonder if they'll ever seen the signs

that we're hungry for a message that inspires

what happened to the good

what happened to the right

we've got to drag it back

we've got to keep it in sight

have we been led away

been taken for a ride

they say it's the only way

but it still ain't right

turning down your friend request

cuz you won't see me at my best that way

you'll just see what's on the screen

and judge the things you've never seen any way

and i wonder if we'll ever reach the place

that's not a two dimensional book that hides my face

what happened to the good

what happened to the right

we've got to drag it back

we've got to keep it in sight

have we been led away

been taken for a ride

they say it's the only way

but it still ain't right

i'm as guilty as the rest

gotta spread my wings and leave this nest

empty answers keep us asking more what is this

what is this

what is this

what is this for

what happened to the good

what happened to the right

we've got to drag it back

we've got to keep it in sight

have we been led away

been taken for a ride

they say it's the only way

but it still ain't right
