All the Right Moves Lyrics

All the right friends in all the right places,

So yeah, we're goin' down
They got all the right moves in all the right faces,

So yeah, we're goin' down

Let's paint the picture of the perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told you

They'll be the King of Hearts, and you're the Queen of Spades

Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers

I know we got it good, but they got it made


And their grass is getting greener each day

I know things are looking up, but soon they'll take us down

Before anybody's knowin' our name
They got all the right friends in all the right places,

So yeah, we're goin' down

They got all the right moves in all the right faces,

So yeah, we're goin' down
They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're goin',
Yeah, we're goin' down

They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're goin',
Yeah, we're goin' down

Do you think I'm special?

Do you think I'm nice, am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?

Between the noise you hear, and the sound you like


Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?
It can't be possible that rain could fall
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away
Over their world instead, they got,
They got all the right friends in all the right places,
So yeah, we're goin' down
They got all the right moves in all the right faces,
So yeah, we're goin' down
They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're goin',
Yeah, we're goin' down
They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're goin',
Yeah, we're goin' down (going down, going down, going down, going down)
It don't matter what you see, I know I could never be
Someone that'll look like you
It don't matter what you say, I know I could never face
Someone that could sound like you
All the right friends in all the right places,
So yeah, we're goin' down
They got all the right moves in all the right faces,
So yeah, we're goin' down
All the right friends in all the right places,
So yeah, we're goin' down
They got all the right moves in all the right faces,
So yeah, we're goin' down
They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're goin',
Yeah, we're goin' down
They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're goin',
Yeah, we're goin' down (going down, going down, going down)
Yeah we're going down
Yeah we're going down
All the right moves, hey
Yeah we're going down
They say all the right moves, hey
Yeah we're going down
