lyrics

(Verse 1)
Here we go again
Same old story, same old picture, same old lecture

I wish we could let it be
Instead of inciting a riot in all our words of wisdom

It's such an easy fight, It's such an easy fight

Chorus:
When you're too busy bein' right
& I'm too busy bein' happy
You're too busy bein' right
We're slippin' away, until there's nothing left to fight for
Slippin' away, and we're both too busy bein' right

(Verse 2)
It's my turn again
crackin' jokes, givin' opinions not requested

I try to clear my head
But all I can focus on is this sounding board that never seems to lessen

If I could make you listen....

(Chorus)
When I'm too busy bein' right
& you're too busy bein' happy
I'm too busy bein' right
We're slippin' away, until there's nothing left to fight for
Slippin' away, and we're both too busy bein'
 
(Bridge)
Bein' right ain't bein' beautiful
It's just another way to show there's something wrong with everything you know
& though you're simply irresistible
I just can stand the fight

(Last Chorus)
We're too busy bein' right
We should be busy bein' happy
We're too busy bein' right
Far too busy to be happy

We're too busy bein' right
We should be busy bein' happy
We're too busy bein' right

We're slippin' away, until there's nothing left to fight for
Slippin' away, and we're both too busy bein'

(Outro)
I'm too busy, you're too busy, we're just too busy
I'm too busy, you're too busy, we're just too busy
and it's about time we start bein'
