I Stand Corrected Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've been checking on my facts
And I admit I have been lax
In double-screening what I say
It wasn't funny anyway
[Chorus]
I stand corrected
I stand corrected
[Verse 2]
No one cares when you are wrong
But I've been at this far too long
To act like that when we should be
In perfect harmony
[Chorus]
I stand corrected
I, oh, I stand corrected
[Bridge]
Lord knows I haven't tried, I'll take my stand
One last time
Forget the protocol, I'll take your hand
Right in mine
You've been checking on my facts
And I admit I have been lax
In double-screening what I say
It wasn't funny anyway
[Chorus]
I stand corrected
I stand corrected
[Verse 2]
No one cares when you are wrong
But I've been at this far too long
To act like that when we should be
In perfect harmony
[Chorus]
I stand corrected
I, oh, I stand corrected
[Bridge]
Lord knows I haven't tried, I'll take my stand
One last time
Forget the protocol, I'll take your hand
Right in mine
[Chorus]
I stand corrected
I, oh, I stand corrected
I stand corrected
I, oh, I stand corrected
About
Genius Annotation
Although “I Stand Corrected” doesn’t feature any of the Afropop beats that frequent the rest of Vampire Weekend, nobody said going soft was a bad decision for the album.
In fact, it’s not a bad decision at all. If we were to say it was, well, we’d stand corrected after listening to this. The catchy guitar riffs are replaced with a lush string instrument, and Ezra Koenig’s amazing voice continues to shine.
