I been wrong, I been right
But tonight, I feel steady as a snakebite
And if everyone is uptight tonight
It's all right
We got books that we burn after just one look
Cuz we need a generation's nightlight
Just so everyone can sleep tight
And that's all right; it's just a little shortsighted
We can open wide
We can drink peroxide to try and clean us out
But what's inside deep within our veins
Remains most of the time
