Something Ain't Right

David Byrne

Prime-time in the living rooms

And how all the drapes are closed

Moonlight shinin' from above

(It) seems that ev'rybody knows (that)



Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right



Well, god can turn the world around

And he can push it in the dirt

And he can tear it all apart

And he don't care who all gets hurt



Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right



There's a place where money grows on trees

(But) the only way to reach it's on your knees



C'mon down ? you old fart

Let's see if you have got a heart

It ain't true ? it's all lies

Are you the devil in disguise

I won't give up ? won't bow down

I'm gonna tear your playhouse down



Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right



Face to face ? man to man

I've seen the lord and you ain't him

It's our life ? it's our time

You don't care if we sink or swim



Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right



Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star

Who the hell now do you think you are?



Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right

Oh ? something ain't right
