They want your mind and your body
|
But they don't understand
|
And don't care much about it
|
Gotta work for your country
|
Society's built on concrete and money
|
If this room was to vanish
|
And the toys of man turned to civilized dust
|
There'd 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
|
There'd better be life on Mars
|
|
Chorus:
|
It's alright, it's alright
|
If you don't think about it
|
It's alright
|
If you don't look at it, it's alright
|
|
How time slips away
|
Live by the Good Book
|
That's what the wise men say
|
But where does it leave us
|
Were they right or were they wrong
|
Gotta have hope, gotta carry on
|
|
It's alright, it's alright
|
It's alright, it's 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
|
They'd 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
|
There'd better be life on Mars
|
|
Chorus
|
|
How time slips away
|
Live by the Good Book
|
That's what the wise men say
|
But where does it leave us
|
Were they right or were they wrong
|
Gotta have hope
|
Gotta carry on
|
|
It's alright, it's alright
|
