Sounds About Right and Won’t Stick

We live in a world where an adult girl
Ran out of hairspray and needed some help
So she reached on the shelf and grabbed Gorilla Glue
Messed up her head and then people said
“She’ll probably sue and is she going to?”
Yeah, that sounds about right
Yeah, that sounds about right

The leader of this world was not popular
Sewing seeds of discord for many years
Watered them daily with gasoline
Then sparked a riot and wild fires
The victims acquitted meaning it wouldn’t stick
Yeah, that sounds about right

The law of the land said “of course he’s guilty
But we acquit and someone should hold him
Accountable, his stains on the walls
And these hallowed halls are forever tarnished
Which of course will stick because we acquit.”
Yeah, that sounds about right
Yeah, that sounds about right

Well, everything about these things
Is too insane and could only exist
In the same weather
Pattern or self-induced parameters
That even allow these things as possibilities
Yeah, that sounds about right

Well, we failed her, and we failed him, we failed ourselves and all of them
And one of these days and I don’t know when
Gorilla Glue won’t stick together again
Yeah, that sounds about right
Yeah, we’ve been acquitted
Yeah, we’ve been acquitted
So it won’t stick
Yeah, that sounds about right
