R.E.M. - I Wanted To Be Wrong

[00:13.30] You know where I come from [00:16.43] You know what I feel [00:18.80] You're Yul Brenner Westworld [00:22.22] Reporting from the field. [00:25.73] I threw it into reverse, [00:28.24] Made a motion to repeal. [00:32.34] You kicked my legs from under me, [00:35.71] And tried to take the wheel. [00:38.86] I told you I wanted to be wrong, [00:42.68] But everyone is humming a song [00:46.66] That I don't understand. [00:50.79] Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street. [00:59.67] The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat. [01:07.55] The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked [01:13.68] Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats. [01:19.95] Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me [01:28.82] That I have just begun to understand. [01:33.62] I told you I wanted to be wrong, [01:40.48] But everyone is humming a song [01:44.37] That I don't understand. [02:21.14] The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns. [02:24.76] A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down. [02:32.85] We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech; [02:37.94] Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's [02:44.30] We can't approach the Allies 'cause they seem a little peeved [02:50.66] And speak a language we don't understand. [03:00.61] I told you I wanted to be wrong [03:04.77] But everyone is humming a song [03:09.33] That I don't understand. [03:49.98] (Prop up The Omega Man, we're primed for victory, [03:50.21] God gave us the upper hand, there's honor among thieves. [03:51.04] Temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit. [03:52.32] The top's down on the T-Bird, we're the children of the free) [03:52.71] Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite. [03:53.36] Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets? [03:55.86] Destroy the things that I don't understand [04:02.25] Destroy the things that I don't understand. [04:26.51]
