lyrics

(the wrong person)

The ones who were there cannot go near it, that is the rule
My grandmother knew every note and would not sing a bar
And I know nothing, I was not born, I lost nothing at all
And that is precisely why I am able to do this

The wrong person (wrong person)
It is always the wrong person, wrong person
Who can carry it, wrong person
Wrong person

The wrong person, wrong person, the wrong person, wrong person
Distance is not disrespect, distance is the whole mechanism
The wrong person, wrong person, the wrong person, wrong person
Somebody has to be far enough away to pick it up

I am not apologising for it and I am not pretending either.
I make a living from a decade I did not have to survive.
That is the trade. Everybody who does this is doing that.
(MACHINE RETURNS)

The wrong person, wrong person, the wrong person, wrong person
Distance is not disrespect, distance is the whole mechanism
The wrong person, wrong person, the wrong person, wrong person
Somebody has to be far enough away to pick it up

(the wrong person...)
