Right To Know (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

On a cool dark night someone’s coming down the street
With a smoking gun and a smile on his face
For all to see, the rest is history
But no one knows what’s on his mind
Except him and his monkey–come on . . .

When the big man fell with a secret on his lips
So close, so close
‘til the bullet gave his kiss
The world cried out loud, the rest is history
And no one knows what’s on his mind
Except him and his monkey–come on . . .

You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to believe that there’s something more to see

There’s a man at the desk who is talking real soft
To a half dozen guys but not a word is lost
The men depart they all know what to do
With a rifle aiming through a clearing in a bush
So close, so close, but no one thinks to look

You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to believe that there’s something more to see
Than a big bunch of flowers in a cemetery
So why hold out, come on and give your testimony

On a phone connection on the other side of town
Sits a man with a pencil who doesn’t make a sound
He nods his head, the rest is history
But no one knows what’s on his mind
Except him and his monkey–come on, come on

When the big man fell with a secret on his lips
So close, so close
‘til the bullet gave his kiss

You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to know
You’ve got a right to believe that there’s something more to see
Than a big bunch of flowers in a cemetery
So why hold out, come on and give your testimony

On a cool dark night someone’s coming down the street . . .

My arms are just as strong as his arms
But my arms had to let you go
You walked straight into his arms
Hadn’t i the right? hadn’t i the right to know?

My heart is really such a big heart
With big love and room enough to grow
So my heart was summarily ripped apart
But i hadn’t i the right? hadn’t i the right to know?

I want to tell everybody all around the world
To stay away from you ‘cause you’re a wicked girl
But no can do
I’m still in love with you
‘cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes
The breaking of a heart is just a small-beer crime
Even so, i think i had a right to know

One day when all of this is far away
I’ll say "that’s the way it goes"
Until then let me remember when
I held you oh, so tight, i think i had a right to know

I want to tell everybody all around the world
To stay away from you ‘cause you’re a bad bad girl
But you know me, too much decency
‘cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes
And breaking someone’s heart is just a small-beer crime
Even so, i think i had a right to know
