The Specials

Doesn't Make It Alright

Just because you're nobody

It doesn't mean that you're no good

Just because there's a reason

It doesn't mean it's understood

It doesn't make it alright

It doesn't make it alright

It's the worst excuse in the world

And it, it doesn't make it alright

Some people think they're really clever

To smash your head against the wall

Then they say "you got it my way"

They really think they know it all

It doesn't make it alright

It doesn't make it alright

It's the worst excuse in the world

And it, it doesn't make it alright

Just because you're a black boy

Just because you're a white

It doesn't mean you've got to hate him

It doesn't mean you've got to fight

It doesn't make it alright

It doesn't make it alright

It's the worst excuse in the world

And it, it doesn't make it alright

Just because you're nobody!
