the good and the right

swallowing my morning cup, i saw a mother out with her child, while she was yelling down the phone, he held the game that occupied his mind, and i wonder what will happen to his life, and i can't help thinking something just ain't right, turning on the radio, i'm fed up with these single-minded lines, does anybody stop and think, there's more to words and just a stupid rhyme, and i wonder if they'll ever seen the signs, that we're hungry for a message that inspires, what happened to the good, what happened to the right, we've got to drag it back, we've got to keep it in sight, have we been led away, been taken for a ride, they say it's the only way, but it still ain't right, turning down your friend request, cuz you won't see me at my best that way, you'll just see what's on the screen, and judge the things you've never seen any way, and i wonder if we'll ever reach the place, that's not a two dimensional book that hides my face, what happened to the good, what happened to the right, we've got to drag it back, we've got to keep it in sight, have we been led away, been taken for a ride, they say it's the only way, but it still ain't right, i'm as guilty as the rest, gotta spread my wings and leave this nest, empty answers keep us asking more what is this, what is this, what is this, what is this for, what happened to the good, what happened to the right, we've got to drag it back, we've got to keep it in sight, have we been led away, been taken for a ride, they say it's the only way, but it still ain't right
