Right To Know Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

On a cool dark night someone's coming down the street 

With a smoking gun and a smile on his face 

For all to see, the rest is history nut no one knows 

What's on his mind, except him and his monkey, come on 

When the big man fell with a secret on his lips 

So close, so close 'til the bullet gave his kiss 

The world cried out loud, the rest is history and no one knows 

What's on his mind, except him and his monkey, come on 

You've got a right to know, you've got a right to know 

You've got a right to know, you've got a right to believe 

That there's something more to see 

There's a man at the desk who is talking real soft 

To a half dozen guys but not a word is lost 

The men depart they all know what to do 

With a rifle aiming through a clearing in a bush 

So close, so close, but no one thinks to look 

You've got a right to know, you've got a right to know 

You've got a right to know, you've got a right to believe 

That there's something more to see 

Than a big bunch of flowers in a cemetery 

So why hold out, come on and give your testimony 

On a phone connection on the other side of town 

Sits a man with a pencil who doesn't make a sound 

He nods his head, the rest is history but no one knows 

What's on his mind, except him and his monkey, come on, come on 

When the big man fell with a secret on his lips 

So close, so close 'til the bullet gave his kiss 

You've got a right to know, you've got a right to know 

You've got a right to know, you've got a right to believe 

That there's something more to see 

Than a big bunch of flowers in a cemetery 

So why hold out, come on and give your testimony 

On a cool dark night someone's coming down the street
