Right and Wrong Songtext
von Joe Jackson

Stop everything

I think I hear the president
The Pied Piper of the TV screen
He′s gonna make it simple
And he's got it all mapped out
And illustrated with cartoons
Too hard for clever folks to understand
Yeah, them are used to words like

Ideology
But they say it′s not the issue
Ideology
They're not talking about right or left
They're talking about
T-t-talking about


Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong
Do you know the difference
Between the right and the left
And the east and the west
What you know and the things that you′ll never see

So what you think
You like the Yankees or the Mets this year?
And what about this latest war of words?
What about the commies?
You know I saw the news last night
All illustrated with cartoons
So when they come with that opinion poll
They better not choose words like

Ideology
Try to tell me about the issues
Ideology
Huh, whose side are you on?
′Cause we're talking about
T-t-talking about


Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong
Do you know the difference
Between the right and the left
And the east and the west
What you know and the things that you′ll never see

Right and wrong
Do you know the difference?
Right and wrong
Do you know the difference
Between the right and the left
And the east and the west
What you know and the things that you'll never see
