We're All Alright Lyrics

You see it dominate the six o'clock news 

It's on the cover of your magazines 

The television is a horror show 

The paper reads like something by Stephen King 

You've got forty lashes ‘cross your back 

Guess your mommy can't control her rage 

Could it be because she just found out 

Your drunken daddy's got a girlfriend 

Who's half her age? 

It's all alright - we're all alright 

It's all alright - we're all alright 

I see a moralistic bourgeoisie 

Blocking clinics in a human chain 

While the orphanages overflow 

The children playing in the acid rain 

Change the channel, God's right hand man 

Says send him money or I'll burn in hell 

And on the news I find it's all been spent 

(That's where you money went) 

They caught him playing "feed the kitty" 

In some cheap motel 

(But) It's all alright - we're all alright 

It's all alright - we're all alright 

Big Brother tells me I can't live without my 

MTV, sporty car, snappy clothes and VISA card 

White picket fences and 2, 3 kids 

They try to medicate our minds 

And pray to God we never find 

The extent of all damage they did 

As April fades into December 

It'd do us all good to remember 

Even the dinosaurs couldn't give fate the slip 

Yes my friends, the bottoming is we've got 

The dumb leading the deaf and blind 

We're fresh out of parachutes 

And we're headed for the edge of a cliff 

Look at us kids and all we deal with today 

We love in fear ‘cause of some monkey's disease 

And ‘cause our parents let the rainforests die 

In twenty years, the sun will boil the seas 

And Mr. President don't give a shit 

Says, "Hallelujah, the recession's gone!" 

He spends a tril to keep the commies away 

When there's a thousand homeless 

Camping on the White House lawn 

Chorus 

It's all alright - we're all alright 

We're all alright - we're all alright 

"My question to the American people is : 

WHO DO YOU TRUST?"
