R.E.M. – I Wanted To Be Wrong Lyrics  Share

From R.E.M.'s album: Around The Sun

You know where I come from
You know what I feel
You^,re Yul Brenner Westworld
Reporting from the field.
I threw it into reverse,
Made a motion to repeal.
You kicked my legs from under me,
And tried to take the wheel.

I told you I wanted to be wrong,
But everyone is humming a song
That I don^,t understand.

Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street.
The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat.
The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked
Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats.

Mythology^,s seductive and it turned a trick on me
That I have just begun to understand.

I told you I wanted to be wrong,
But everyone is humming a song
That I don^,t understand.
[ I Wanted To Be Wrong lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/rem/i-wanted-to-be-wrong/ ]

The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns.
A rumble in the third act, tie ^,em up and burn ^,em down.
We^,re armed to the teeth, born a little breech;
Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV^,s

We can^,t approach the Allies ^,cause they seem a little peeved
And speak a language we don^,t understand.

I told you I wanted to be wrong
But everyone is humming a song
That I don^,t understand.

[Prop up The Omega Man, we^,re primed for victory,
God gave us the upper hand, there^,s honor among thieves.
Temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit.
The top^,s down on the T-Bird, we^,re the children of the free]

Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite.
Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets?
Destroy the things that I don^,t understand
Destroy the things that I don^,t understand.
