You see it dominate the six oclock news
Its on the cover of your magazines
The television is a horror show
The paper reads like something by stephen king
Youve got forty lashes cross your back
Guess your mommy cant control her rage
Could it be because she just found out
Your drunken daddys got a girlfriend
Whos half her age?
Its all alright - were all alright
Its all alright - were 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, gods right hand man
Says send him money or Ill burn in hell
And on the news I find its all been spent
(thats where you money went)
They caught him playing "feed the kitty"
In some cheap motel
(but) its all alright - were all alright
Its all alright - were all alright
Big brother tells me I cant 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
Itd do us all good to remember
Even the dinosaurs couldnt give fate the slip
Yes my friends, the bottoming is weve got
The dumb leading the deaf and blind
Were fresh out of parachutes
And were headed for the edge of a cliff
Look at us kids and all we deal with today
We love in fear cause of some monkeys disease
And cause our parents let the rainforests die
In twenty years, the sun will boil the seas
And mr. president dont give a shit
Says, "hallelujah, the recessions gone!"
He spends a tril to keep the commies away
When theres a thousand homeless
Camping on the white house lawn
Chorus
Its all alright - were all alright
Were all alright - were all alright
"my question to the american people is :
Who do you trust? "
