Remember Hannibal's march? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Leaving elephant footprints and leading his boys across the Alps
|
I think I know how he felt, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Not just because it was tough, But the way his country eventually sold him out
|
I think of what must have been his immense frustration.
|
There in a land far away with the prize so close he could almost taste it
|
Only to hear his leaders say
|
"Way to go! You did it! Even though you didn't really do it, though,
|
Everybody here is feelin' right on!" (so I'll)
|
Drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need,
|
But after that I know I'm goin' right on
|
Remember the second World War? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
|
A certain general George, he got in trouble for trying way too hard,
|
I think I know how he felt, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
I know it sounds crazy but I tend to get too wrapped up in work
|
But me and Patton seem to share that immense frustration
|
(it's megalomaniacal I know)
|
Wanting something so bad you can almost taste it
|
And dragged down by the voices from below (they say)
|
"Way to go! You're done! You've gone as far as you will ever go!
|
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
|
So I'll drink a little, take a break, a break I didn’t really need
|
But after that I know I'm going right on!
|
I know that I'm not alone
|
The treasure of my heart is calling on the telephone
|
I've got my friends around me, they don't seem to hate me yet
|
My family lends me cash and they're not strict about the debt
|
And the world is a place where the most
|
Important thing you can learn is this:
|
To submit to the will of the man upstairs
|
And don't get too wrapped up in yourself
|
And so I guess this is kind of an amateur prayer
|
For people trying to find their own way,
|
Or a request for strength and a reminder to resist
|
What the well-meaning naysayers say when they say
|
"Way to go! You did it! Even though you didn't do it though!
|
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
|
So I'll drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need.
|
After that I know I'm going right on!
|
"Way to go! You're done! You've gone as far as you will ever go!
|
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
|
So I'll drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need.
|
But after that I know I'm going right on!
|
Right on!
