Yeah Right Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm the widow
On the tip-tippy-toppy of the highest high of low
And I’m the shadow
Of the first little flower on the brightest patch of snow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Happiness can be hard to find
I'm so slap silly happy
Everybody wants to take mine
[Chorus]
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Yeah, yeah, right
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I’m a rock star
I'm a queen resurrected, just as messed up as before
Twist the knife hard
Just makes it easier to tell you I don't need you anymore (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Life's a game 'til you lose, then what?
I'm reaching a new level of not giving a fuck
[Chorus]
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday (I can't wait for the day)
We'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
[Bridge]
Tell me, how is the real world treating you?
Is that my fault too?
My one mistake was giving more and more and more
More and more and more
[Chorus]
Hey, yeah
Yeah, right
Baby, that sounds nice (That sounds nice)
Everything you ever wanted and more
Someday (I can’t wait for the day)
We’ll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls, sell our souls
[Outro]
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
More than it was worth to sell our souls
I'm the widow
On the tip-tippy-toppy of the highest high of low
And I’m the shadow
Of the first little flower on the brightest patch of snow
Happiness can be hard to find
I'm so slap silly happy
Everybody wants to take mine
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Yeah, yeah, right
Yeah, I’m a rock star
I'm a queen resurrected, just as messed up as before
Twist the knife hard
Just makes it easier to tell you I don't need you anymore (Oh)
Life's a game 'til you lose, then what?
I'm reaching a new level of not giving a fuck
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday (I can't wait for the day)
We'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Tell me, how is the real world treating you?
Is that my fault too?
My one mistake was giving more and more and more
More and more and more
Hey, yeah
Yeah, right
Baby, that sounds nice (That sounds nice)
Everything you ever wanted and more
Someday (I can’t wait for the day)
We’ll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls, sell our souls
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
More than it was worth to sell our souls
