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?
