"Swing To The Right" lyrics

"Swing To The Right"

Swing to the right
Try to face the fact that I ain't that young no more
Hair's short again and a suit is in
Better brush up on how to tie a Windsor knot

Swing to the right
Credit's hard to find and a dollar doesn't go so far
What's more important when the count comes in
A sell-out who's alive or a corpse that can't be bought?

Stop the hands of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Looking out for mine

Swing to the right
Don't want to hear what the povertous expect from me
Let 'em eat cake if they feel that way
I gotta work, why should I have to pay for that?

Swing to the right
And I don't want to be left holding the bag for them
'Scuse me for living but I have to say
I've got some worries of my own, like staying fat

Stop the hands of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Looking out for mine

Stop the hands of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Save my place in line
Tables turning 'round
Looking at all mine
