Kinks - It's Alright Lyrics
They want your mind and your bodyBut they don't understandAnd don't care much about itGotta work for your countrySociety's built on concrete and moneyIf this room was to vanishAnd the toys of man turned to civilized dustThere'd still be you and me, honeyWith our history goneBut the spirit lives onBuild those highways, build those carsOn a planet full of scrap metalThere'd better be life on marsChorus:It's alright, it's alrightIf you don't think about itIt's alrightIf you don't look at it, it's alrightHow time slips awayLive by the good bookThat's what the wise men sayBut where does it leave usWere they right or were they wrongGotta have hope, gotta carry onIt's alright, it's alrightIt's alright, it's alrightThey want your soul and your spiritMake them understandThese things they never can haveGotta work for your familyA community built on trust, not moneyIf this town was to vanishAnd the office blocks were just turned into ashesThey'd be you and me, honeyWith the will to surviveAnd the spirit lives onBuild those factoriesPlants and carsOn a planet so desecratedThere'd better be life on marsChorusHow time slips awayLive by the good bookThat's what the wise men sayBut where does it leave usWere they right or were they wrongGotta have hopeGotta carry onIt's alright, it's alright
