I Wanted To Be Wrong Lyrics - Around The Sun - Rem

You know where I come from 

You know what I feel 

You're Yul Brenner Westworld 

Reporting from the field. 

I threw it into reverse, 

Made a motion to repeal. 

You kicked my legs from under me, 

And tried to take the wheel. 

I told you I wanted to be wrong, 

But everyone is humming a song 

That I don't understand. 

Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street. 

The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat. 

The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked 

Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me 

That I have just begun to understand. 

I told you I wanted to be wrong, 

But everyone is humming a song 

That I don't understand. 

The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns. 

A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down. 

We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech; 

Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's 

We can't approach the Allies 'cause they seem a little peeved 

And speak a language we don't understand. 

I told you I wanted to be wrong 

But everyone is humming a song 

That I don't understand. 

(Prop up The Omega Man, we're primed for victory, 

God gave us the upper hand, there's honor among thieves. 

Temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit. 

The top's down on the T-Bird, we're the children of the free) 

Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite. 

Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets? 

Destroy the things that I don't understand 

Destroy the things that I don't understand.
