“Everything Right is Wrong Again” is the first track on They Might Be Giants' debut album.
The song was a large inspiration for the “Weird Al” Yankovic song “Everything You Know is Wrong”. It also plays over the end credits of the 1993 dark comedy Ed and His Dead Mother.
[Chorus 1]
Everything right is wrong again
Just like in The Long, Long Trailer
All the dishes got broken and the car kept driving
And nobody would stop to save her
[Verse 1]
Wake me when it's over, touch my face
Tell me every word has been erased
Don't you want to know the reason
Why the cupboard's not appealing
Don't you get the feeling that
[Chorus 2]
Everything that's right is wrong again
You're a weasel overcome with dinge
Weasel overcome but not before the damage done
The healing doesn't stop the feeling
[Chorus 1]
Everything right is wrong again
Just like in The Long, Long Trailer
All the dishes got broken and the car kept driving
And nobody would stop to save her
[Reprise]
And now the song is over now
And now the song is over now
And now the song is over now
The song is over now
[Bridge]
Everything right is wrong again
Every movement false, every four is waltz again
Every five and dime's been gained and spent
Tell me that you like my float upstream
Draw the line dividing laugh and scream
You know everything that I know so I know
You've heard the voice that makes the silent noise
That says that
[Chorus 2]
Everything that's right is wrong again
You're a weasel overcome with dinge
Weasel overcome but not before the damage done
The healing doesn't stop the feeling
[Chorus 1]
Everything right is wrong again
Just like in The Long, Long Trailer
All the dishes got broken and the car kept driving
And nobody would stop to save her
[Reprise]
And now the song is over now
And now the song is over now
And now the song is over now
The song is over now
