Right On

Remember Hannibal's march?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Leaving elephant footprints and
Leading his boys across the Alps.
I think I know how he felt,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Not just because it was tough
But the way his country eventually sold him out.
I think of what must have been his immense frustration
There in a land far away
With the prize so close he could almost taste it
Only to hear his leaders say...
<I>Chorus</I>
Way to go you did it even though you didn't do it though
Everybody here is feelin' right on
So drink a little, take a break a break I didn't really need, after that I know I'm goin' right on... Right!
Remember the second World War?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
A certain general George
He got in trouble for trying
Way too hard.
I think I know how he felt,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
I know it sounds crazy
But I tend to get too wrapped up in work.
But me and Patton seem to share that immense frustration
It's megalomaniacal I know,
Wanting something so bad you can almost taste it
Then dragged down by the voices from below that say:
<I>Chorus</I>
Way to go you're done you've gone as far as you will ever go
Everybody here is feelin' right on
So drink a little take a break a break I didn't really need
After that I know I'm goin' right on.
I know that I'm not alone
The treasure of my heart is calling on the telephone
I got my friends around me they don't seem to hate me yet
My family lends me cash and they're not strict about the debt
And the world is a place where the most important thing you can learn is this:
To submit to the will of the man upstairs and don't get too wrapped up in yourself.
And so I guess this is kind of an immature prayer for people trying to find their own way,
A request for strength and
A reminder to resist what the well-meaning naysayers say
When they say:
<I>Chorus</I>
Way to go you did it even though you didn't do it though
Everybody here is feelin' right on
So drink a little, take a break a break I didn't really need, after that I know I'm goin' right on.
Way to go you're done you've gone as far as you will ever go
Everybody here is feelin' right on
So drink a little take a break a break I didn't really need
After that I know I'm goin' right on...
Right on.... Yo-oh-oh-oh!
Right on.... Yo-oh-oh-oh!
Right on.... Yo-oh-oh-oh...
