beautiful chorus -all in all kinda a Zappa theatrical thing without the bs -no waste of time

Lyrics: 

Verse 1

One day, you’re brought into the light of a world that feels so strange
Join to the race to find your place.... on this dusty stage
Seas on costumes, mountains of roles, lifelong journeys bought and sold
You're the star and you're the screen asking what it means

Chorus:

Well, we’ve got to be right (got to be right) got to be right
‘bout the stories we’ve been told
Don’t want to be wrong (don’t want to be wrong)
Watch the people live their song, and carry on

Verse 2

Well the fables of your country, the tales of your tribe, from Krishna to St. Paul
You decide what gives you pride... just don’t build up a wall
You construct an ego that you try to transcend, you learn the rules to see how they bend
That fragile road may turn to dust, so walk with those you trust

Chorus:

Well, we’ve got to be right (got to be right) got to be right
‘bout the stories we’ve been told
Don’t want to be wrong (don’t want to be wrong)
Watch the people live their song, and carry on

Bridge:

When brave ol’ Angry Angus killed the dragon
He crossed the bonnie banks for Stubborn Sue
...gather ‘round and I shall tell ye stories
Of old and new, yeah

(Guitar solo)

Bridge:

When brave ol’ Angry Angus killed the dragon
He crossed the bonnie banks for Stubborn Sue
...gather ‘round and I shall tell ye stories
Of old and new, yeah

Chorus:

Well, we’ve got to be right (got to be right) got to be right
‘bout the stories we’ve been told
Don’t want to be wrong (don’t want to be wrong)
Watch the people live their song, and carry on
