[Intro ] [Verse 1] You called your people on a Sunday low Drew your battle lines before you said hello Got the receipts, got the replay reel Got the whole damn jury in your bones to feel You cite the chapter, you quote the page You're the star witness and the saint and sage But the bed is cold and the silence loud Honey, golden truth won't move a crowd [Pre-Chorus] So go ahead, state your case I've seen smarter people lose the war Winning every battle, sleeping on the floor [Chorus] I came in peace, I don't wanna fight But you want to be happy ...or you want to be right? … You want to be happy or you want to be right? [Verse 2] You keep the scoreboard like a Hall of Fame Every sin I sinned got its little frame You're a Wikipedia of my worst days Cross-referenced, footnoted, alphabetized malaise Gotta have the last word, gotta close the case Gotta land that line, gotta hold that space You'd rather slam the door than let it breathe — The sweetest sound you know is "I believe." [Pre-Chorus] So go ahead, engrave the stone I've seen righteous people eat alone Clutching their medals, talking to the phone [Chorus] I came in peace, I don't wanna fight But you want to be happy ...or you want to be right? … You want to be happy or you want to be right? ... Or you wanna be right.... [Bridge] Maybe you got all the answers, maybe you just think you do This ain't a debate, there's no trophy, there's no podium for two Sure, you won — okay, you won — feel good? Feel satisfied? It's only in your head, babe, nothing changed on my side Would you ever change your mind? Would you? Could you? ...Really? ...No, really. [instrumental solo] [Final Chorus] I came in peace, I don't wanna fight But you want to be happy ...or you want to be right? I came in peace, I don't wanna fight But you want to be happy or you want to be right? … You want to be happy or you want to be right? ... YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY? .... OR YOU WANNA BE RIGHT? [Outro] ... Ooooh... ... Or you wanna be right.... ...OR YOU WANNA BE RIGHT! ...OR YOU WANNA BE RIGHT !! [end]
