The Lower East Side's STITCHES don't have that problem. They don't need "the music industry" telling everyone how Curt, who played in the seminal punk band The Radicts, influenced everyone from suburban kids in their garages to everyone's favorites, Rancid. They don't need punk superstar Joey Ramone vouching for them, even though he gladly does. They don't need their label telling you that Lower East Side Stitches has shared the stage with such acts as The Dickies, D-Generation, Bouncing Souls, Murphy's Law, and host of others. And they don't need me telling you that Damian, Mick, and James, along with Curt, are as good as they get. It's on the kid's faces at all their shows."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right, right
Right, right (Okay)
Right, right
You should know I didn't come to this party to get wasted
But I should know they always wanted more
With every shot I take brings up another conversation
But only you can get me on the floor
No one can take me down
We're moving our hips like waves when we hear the sound
You're making me misbehave
But it just feels so right
I'm finna cause some trouble with you tonight
You got me listening to all the voices
Voices up in my head
You got me making the wrong choices
Choices up in this bed
You got me listening to all the voices
Voices up in my head
You got me making the wrong choices
Choices up in this bed
Even if the night don't go exactly how I planned it
I got a couple tricks up in my sleeve
Baby, I know this might sound uptight
But I know how to make our night
I promise you won't ever want to leave
Turning the music up
No one can take me down
We're moving our hips like waves when we hear the sound
You're making me misbehave
But it just feels so right
I'm finna cause some trouble with you tonight
You got me listening to all the voices
Voices up in my head
You got me making the wrong choices
Choices up in this bed
You got me listening to all the voices
Voices up in my head
You got me making the wrong choices
Choices up in this bed
If this feels wrong I don't wanna be right

If this feels wrong I don't wanna be right
