David Byrne on “Something Ain’t Right”: “That was something I wrote with Terry Allen. I sent him an early track when we were first recording. I was improvising words and he sent back some suggested verses. Some of the lines are his, some are mine. It’s a rant against the Old Fart Upstairs.”
[Verse 1]
Prime time in the living rooms
And now all the drapes are closed
Moonlight shinin' from above
It seems like ev'rybody knows
[Chorus]
Oh, something ain't right
Oh, something ain't right
[Verse 2]
Well, God can turn the world around
And he can push it in the dirt
And he can tear it all apart
And he don't care who all gets hurt
[Chorus]
Oh, something ain't right
Oh, something ain't right
[Post-Chorus]
There's a place where money grows on trees
Now the only way to reach it's on your knees
[Bridge]
C'mon down, you old fart
Let's see if you have got a heart
It ain't true it's all lies
Are you the devil in disguise?
Won't give up won't bow down
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down
[Chorus]
He said: "oh, something ain't right"
"Oh, something ain't right"
[Post-Chorus]
Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star
Who the hell now do you think you are?
[Chorus]
Oh, something ain't right
Oh, something ain't right
Oh, something ain't right
Oh, something ain't right
