Kinks - Its Alright текст песни

They want your mind and your body

But they dont understand

And dont care much about it

Gotta work for your country

Societys built on concrete and money

If this room was to vanish

And the toys of man turned to civilized dust

Thered still be you and me, honey

With our history gone

But the spirit lives on

Build those highways, build those cars

On a planet full of scrap metal

Thered better be life on mars

Chorus:

Its alright, its alright

If you dont think about it

Its alright

If you dont look at it, its alright

How time slips away

Live by the good book

Thats what the wise men say

But where does it leave us

Were they right or were they wrong

Gotta have hope, gotta carry on

Its alright, its alright

Its alright, its alright

They want your soul and your spirit

Make them understand

These things they never can have

Gotta work for your family

A community built on trust, not money

If this town was to vanish

And the office blocks were just turned into ashes

Theyd be you and me, honey

With the will to survive

And the spirit lives on

Build those factories

Plants and cars

On a planet so desecrated

Thered better be life on mars

Chorus

How time slips away

Live by the good book

Thats what the wise men say

But where does it leave us

Were they right or were they wrong

Gotta have hope

Gotta carry on

Its alright, its alright
