Right On - Pain

Remember Hannibal’s march?

Yeh yeh yeh yeh

Leaving elephant footprints

And leading his boys across the Alps

I think I know how he felt

Yeh yeh yeh yeh

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 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?

Yeh yeh yeh yeh

A certain general George

He got in trouble for trying way too hard

I think I know how he felt yeh yeh yeh yeh

I know it sounds crazy

But I tend to get too wrapped up in work

But me & 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!»

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 main upstairs

And don’t get too wrapped up in yourself

So I guess this is kind «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

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

Of an amateur prayer for

People trying to find their own way

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

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

«Way to go!

You’re done!

You’ve gone as far as you will ever go!

Everybody here is feelin' right on!»

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!
