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 Ў®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 Ў®cause of some monkey`s disease
And Ў®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?
