Oh yeah
Everything’s going to be alright
Oh no
You got to put up the fight

Now remember way back to the time we were kids
When the ladies chased us just to get that kiss
When nap time was a part of our daily routine
Showin mom what you drew and the new scrape on your knee
The were no worries or responsibility
No bills to pay, what is bankruptcy
Now I’m grown up, just like I always wished
Go jail for breaking laws, not just slaps on the wrist

Oh yeah
Everything’s going to be alright
Oh no
You got to put up the fight

There’s relationships and friendships and enemies
There are crazies on the streets and underneath our sheets
There’s the kind that speak in languages of plastic tongue
Slide it thru the crack, a beep and then you’re done
We used to worry bout what was next on tv
Now instead of watchin toons, it’s msnbc
Being grown up aint like I always wished
It’s more fun wastin hours, then no time to piss

Oh yeah
Everything’s going to be alright
Oh no
You got to put up the fight

Now if you, think in blue, your world will be unraveled
Don’t like it? Just fight it, an old soul well traveled
Can you see? Believe me, innocence is not what’s measured
Release me, to be free, in youth you’ll find the answer

When it rains it pours the walls collapse
And I’m surrounded by a cloud of depression
There’s no cause for alarm, I don’t need to be scared
I just need a little bit of attention
A game of hide and seek, or let’s play house
You know what’s wrong with me doc, I need mouth to mouth
Maybe grown up can wait for its turn
The point of life is to have all that you yearn

Oh yeah
Everything’s going to be alright
Oh no
You got to put up the fight

Some sing of love, some sing of redemption
But me I sing a different perspective
It’s not hard to arouse, or get high of a drug
Do think that you cant understand me
There are rules to break, mistakes to make my flare
The world a candy store, I got an addiction
So when I’m lying in bed almost dead
There won’t be a word of affliction

Oh yeah
Everything’s going to be alright
Oh no
You got to put up the fight

Now if you, think in blue, your world will be unraveled
Don’t like it? Just fight it, an old soul well traveled
Can you see? Believe me, innocence is not what’s measured
Release me, to be free, in youth you’ll find the answer
