It's Alright

Looking around at the state of it all The engine that drove us is starting to stall Everyone's saying it could be the end There's nothing to do but just go on pretending It's alright, yeah it's alright It's looking a lot like the end of the line It's alright, yeah it's alright We're just gonna let it unwind When words lose their meaning there's nothing to say From every direction we're losing our way Scouring the surface to dig up the truth Can't help but wonder if we missed our cue but It's alright, it's alright It's looking a lot like it might well be time It's alright, it's alright We're just gonna let it unwind One side gunning for people who've run out of hope An empty nostalgia with fear in its bones While the other sells stories about justice and peace Then pockets the money while it all falls to pieces There's nothing to do but to hand out the blame Tune in tomorrow to hear who won the game I wish I was certain it's all just a joke But the punchline hits more like a punch in the throat It's alright, yeah it's alright It's looking a lot like the end of the line It's alright, yeah it's alright Keep telling ourselves that it's fine It's alright, yeah it's alright It's treason to change it once you've made up your mind It's alright, yeah it's alright We're just gonna live til we die
