You're Right, Mate

 

[Verse 1]
You ask how I stay chilled
Ay
When the room’s gone off its head
I just smile
Take a little breath
Let ’em run right off the ledge

They say
“The earth is flat
You know”
Or “I read it on a thread”
I’m not wasting Friday arvo
On the internet in your head

[Chorus]
So I just say
“You’re right
Mate”
(too right)
Yeah
You’ve absolutely nailed it
“Couldn’t be more right
Mate”
(spot on)
Watch ’em puff their chest and sail with it
I keep my peace
You keep your fight
I keep my weekend
By saying
“You’re right
Mate”

[Verse 2]
You call that “completely ridiculous”
Fair enough
That’s kinda true
But I’d rather grab a beer out back
Than go twelve rounds proving it to you

You want a war in every convo
I want sunshine
Chips
And shade
You can shout into the smoke
Bro
I’ll be halfway down the esplanade

[Chorus]
So I just say
“You’re right
Mate”
(yeah, nah)
You’ve absolutely smashed it
“Couldn’t be more right
Mate”
(too right)
Wear that crown
Go on
You’ve earned it
I keep my peace
You keep your fight
I keep my weekend
By saying
“You’re right
Mate”

[Bridge]
Call it lazy
Call it wise
Call it classic Aussie sly
You can chase your perfect win
I’ll just laugh and tuck my pride

[Chorus]
’Cause I just say
“You’re right
Mate”
(oi, oi)
Yeah
You’ve absolutely nailed it
“Couldn’t be more right
Mate”
(spot on)
Whole pub knows you’re the favorite
I keep my peace
You keep your fight
I walk away grinning
Still saying
“You’re right
Mate”
