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
Let's paint the picture
Of the perfect place
They've got it better then when anyone's told ya
They'll be the King of Hearts, and your the Queen of Spades
Then we'll fight for you like we were your 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
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/one_republic/all_the_right_moves.html ]
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 sounds you like
Are we just sinking in the ocean of faces?
It can't be possible... the rain can fall
Only when it's over our heads.
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away.
Over the world that's dead.
They've got, 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
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're 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 fake
Someone that could sound like you.
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
(Repeat twice)
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
Yeah, we're going down(repeat twice)
All the right moves... heeey
Yeah we're going down
They say
All the right moves... heeey
Yeah we're going down
One republic is talking about how hard it is to rise in the music industry without being just like everything else in there... They've got all the right friends in all the right places... The other people in the music industry that have "got it made" weren't because of talent or originality, but were because they've got the connections, "right friends in the right places". So how can one republic compete with them? Even though one republic has "got it good", they're far from being a rihanna or lady gaga for example, whose "grass is getting greener each day", but its not like they want to be like them, because "i know i could never be someone that'll look like you" and "fake someone that could sound like you". One rep. Will be themselves. In the end, light pop/rock bands like onerep are "sinking in an ocean of faces", "so yeah, we're going down"... So they ask people in the music industry, "do you think i'm special? Do you think i'm nice? Am i bright enough to shine (like a spotlight) in your spaces? Between the noise you hear and the sounds you like (bad vs. "good" music) are we just sinking in the ocean of faces"? In the end, most bands like them are going down... In the beginning, they had to depend on timbaland to even get their name out there. It's hard shit to make it in the music industry when they've got all the right friends in all the right places and you don't.

I really love this song because it reminds me of unity in the whole world. It's like in every places we go, there will always be a right friend.

This song is about the different social classes. How the elite are getting richer due to the "right friends in all the right places"
I agree with the meanings before, but also it is generally saying even if you think you are good at something, there is always someone who is better who makes you feel the lowest of the low. Amazing song!
I think this song is about the holy grail... And the one talking here is the priory of sion... The queen of hearts is the holy grail and the soldiers are the priory... Well that's the main job of the priory is to protect the holy grail from the ones who wants to destroy it... But the enemies have got stronger... They got all the right friends in all the right places... So yeah they're going down... Hhhmmm... My mind's been running wild
