All The Right Moves Lyrics

(All the right friends in all the right places)
So yeah we're going down
(All the right moves in all the wrong faces)
So yeah we're going down

Paint a picture of the perfect place
They've got it better than when anyone's told ya,
I'll be the King of Hearts, you be the Queen of Spades
And we'll fight for you like we were soldiers

I know we've got it good
But they've got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they'll take us down
Before anybody's knowing our name

They've got all the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got all the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down

Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
I said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going 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 the ocean of faces

It can't be possible that rain can fall,
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away
Over the world it's said, they've got, they've got

All the right friends, in all the right places
So yeah we're going down
We got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah we're going down

Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going 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 going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah we're going down)

(All the right friends, in all the right places
So yeah we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah we're going down)

Said, everybody knows everybody knows where we're going
Yeah we're going down
I said, everybody knows everybody knows where we're going
Yeah we're going down (going down, going down, going down)

Yeah we're going down
Yeah we're going down
(All the right moves, yeah)
Yeah we're going down
(All the right moves, yeah)
Yeah we're going down

What is the Meaning of All The Right Moves?

In a world that often feels like a game of chess, this captivating anthem delves into the struggle of trying to fit in and make it big. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of striving for success amidst competition; having all the right moves but perhaps not the right connections or faces. It's about realizing you're on a downward spiral despite doing everything right, feeling outshined by those with more advantages. The song also touches on individuality and self-acceptance, acknowledging that we can't mold ourselves to be like others. It's a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life and the music industry, while encouraging us to stay true to who we are. #Struggle #Competition #SelfAcceptance #RealityCheck
