Twisted Nixon

The Story of Twisted Nixon’s Most Popular Song

Written in 1998 after Johnny Punish who was sitting at the Las Vegas Hilton Sports Book and was hit by the absurdity of the place. It absorbed him and he wrote the phrase “LEFT is RIGHT for me” on a drink napkin. That night in a studio in the seedy back alleys of Las Vegas, LEFT IS RIGHT was born when then lead guitarist, Brian Jay Cline, wrote the clever verses while Twisted Nixon added the melodies.

Sung by Brian Jay Cline, Left is Right is clearly Twisted Nixon’s best ever in terms of a pop anthem. This song is the most requested song by fans.  It was produced by Paul Hampton of The Skeletones.

Lyrics

Well the weight of the world is – FALLING
On my back I”ve been – CRAWLING
The state of affairs is – APPALLING
And the 6 o’clock news keeps – CALLING
I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes
Where black is white and day is night

Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me

Well negotiations been – STALLING
The United Nations keeps – CALLING
The skeletons you’re –HAULING
Won’t hold you when your –FALLING
I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes
Where day is night and black is white

Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me

Keep your head in the sand and you’ll never know
What’s waiting for you in the depths below
Don’t believe everything that you read
Take what you want and keep what you need
I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes
Where day is night and black is white

Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me
I said Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me
For me, for me, for me!
