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
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 on the radio
I’m fed up with these single-minded lines
Does anybody stop and think
There’s more to words than just a stupid rhyme
And I wonder if they’ll ever see 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
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
Have we been led away?
Been taken for a ride?
You know it still ain’t right
