We're All Alright

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 'cause 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 rainforest's 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

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?
