Analysis of You're Right
If you think you're always right...
If you rule your world by might...
If you miss the scheduled flight...
If you see things black or white...
If you stir mind sets for fright...
If you speak of all things trite...
If you choose darkness to light...
If your goals are out of sight...
If you crash your own box kite...
If you do things out of spite...
If you are closefisted tight...
If you want someone to fight...
If you cause an urban blight...
If you deny your own plight...
you're wrong.
