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
They're 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 live til we die
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
We've got 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 treason to change once you've made up your mind
It's alright, yeah it's alright
Keep telling ourselves that it's fine
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 live til we die
