[intro]
this is called “i wanted to be wrong”

[verse 1]
you know where i come from, you know what i feel
you’re yul brynner westworld reporting from the field
i threw it into reverse, made a motion to repeal
you knocked my legs from under me and tried to take the wheel

[chorus]
i told you i wanted to be wrong, but everyone is humming a song
that i don’t understand
[verse 2]
now i know that the sun has shined on my side of the street
the basket of america, the weevils with the wheat
the milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked
salute apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats

[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
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 t–th, born a little breech
blue-plate special -n-lysts, cells and suv’s
we can’t approach the allies cause they seem a little peeved
and speak a language we don’t understand

[chorus]
i told you i wanted to be wrong, but everyone is humming a song
that i don’t understand

[outro]
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
[outro, spoken]
i’d like to welcome onstage a great friend to join us
