Lyrics
[verse]
So you got the grades and you got the tie
You got the answer for every question why
But did you ever wonder what you missed along the way
While you were busy climbing you forgot to play
[chorus]
Well you might be right, well you might be right
But being right don't make you feel alright
You can be so clever, you can be so smart
But smart don't fix a hollow, empty heart
[verse]
So you got the title and you got the desk
You got the trophy for the very very best
But nobody ever taught you how to laugh out loud
Nobody ever showed you life beyond the crowd
[chorus]
Well you might be right, well you might be right
But being right don't make you feel alright
You can be so clever, you can be so smart
But smart don't fix a hollow, empty heart
[bridge]
Go on and keep your ledger, keep your perfect score
But someday you'll be wondering what all of it was for
Maybe being human matters more than being right
Maybe that's the lesson hiding just outside your sight
[chorus]
Well you might be right, well you might be right
But being right don't make you feel alright
You can be so clever, you can be so smart
But smart don't fix a hollow, empty heart
