Lyrics of Right Makes Right by Giant Sand
verse
I wanna know what makes a man right
Is it that he do or do not believe in war
Or if the last president he voted for
If he got "Save The Whales" bumper sticker on his car
Does he believe in what he is, does he believe in what you are
I wanna know what makes a man right
chorus
If I'm gonna get any kind of sleep tonight, I get to know
What makes a man right
verse
Is he a prominent neighborhood figurehead?
Is he a man that takes pretty women to bed
Is he a man whose feel with suffering and pain?
Has he been declared geographically insane?
chorus
I wanna know what makes a man right
Before I get anybody, get out of here at night
I wanna know what makes a man right
bridge
Is he a man who knows exactly what he says?
Stands by every word, stands by every page
Is he a man who acts accordingly to the ways he thinks society approve?
Or is he a man who will silently escape in rage, dark rage?
chorus
I'm warning you you, I got a knife
Before anyone leaves here at night
Tell me what makes a man right
A man right
bridge
I'm not asking too much, am I?
verse
Yeah
Just because he wears diamond on his little finger
Has he talked about Jimmy Stewart, in fact he's a dead ringer
Was he habitual user but now he's clean
A country and western singer?
And every night about closing time he insists on teaching you a thing or two?
outro
Does the truth have safe harbor in his heart?
Does the truth have safe harbor in his heart?
Writer(s): Howe Gelb
