lyrics

it's alright it's alright
it's alright we'll be fine
we'll take it one day at a time
it's alright it's alright
it's alright

when i was growing up i always dreamed
of living life like they do up on television screens
but as a kid i didn't know my heart was bleeding
and now i'm all grown up and i can't stand the T.V.
selling lies to youth that don't know better yet
cause if they knew the truth it would make the money sad
i'm sick of all these games now that i've had the chance
to kick my shoes off and see what all i missed

and it's alright it's alright
it's alright i'll be fine
now that i've seen the light
it's alright it's alright
it's alright

when i was growing up i never knew
how desperate we could get how much that we could lose
now i'm just scraping by don't know what i can do
except forfeit to the machine that put me in these shoes
to walk around for miles in these broken down streets
while they legislated new cinder blocks to strap on to our feet
well maybe it's about time to plant some new seeds
and shoot the shoe maker for fucking with our needs

but it's alright it's alright
it's alright stay the line
i got yours if you got mine
it's alright it's alright
it's alright

when i was growing up i always thought
it was possible to do this without the big boss
and years have only taught me i was write all along
except they have their hands in everything cause they're scared of us
gaining control of our lives again
not like we really ever did
they kept us guessing all the way
and kicked us if we misbehaved
well maybe it's about time to plant some new seeds
and shoot the shoe maker we'll have everything we need

so it's alright it's alright
it's alright you'll be fine
cause no one gets left behind
it's alright it's alright
it's alright
