Lyrics

Right To Know

Caught up in your dreams of the day
Wheeling and dealing time will slip away
Reeling off your words in style
Living behind your frozen smile.

Now it’s our right to know
I don’t know why you can’t see
That it’s our right to know
I try so hard to believe you.

Riding on the coat tails of the days gone by
The stirring of the ashes settles in my eyes
It must be a sign of the times
Taking our cues from blind.

Now it’s our right to know
I don’t know why you can’t see
That it’s our right to know
I try so hard to believe you

Swimming in a bitter sea
It’s not where I’d prefer to be
I have to trust someone to tell me why
Telling me that it’s OK
That’s all I ever hear you say
You sing away the truth with lullabies

Standing on the edge of persistence
Calculating who will go the distance
But then it comes down to me and you
Knowing that what is ours we choose.

Now it’s our right to know
I don’t know why you can’t see
That it’s our right to know
I try so hard to believe you
