[Hook]
Things will never be alright
Things could never be alright
And it hurts all the time
And it hurts all the time
Things will never be alright
Things could never be alright
And it hurts all the time
And it hurts all the time
[Verse 1]
Always under oath growth over boasts
Beyond most and to this we toast
I want to claim to have all the answers
And know it all like I'm a master
But this ain't the case
What we lack in knowledge boy we save with grace
On cyberspace I found my place
To compensate for the past the hate
Where I play my fate Babylonian States
It's a stage of shapes where the bottoms scraped
And the tops replaced with victims of hate
The trampled on and the led astray
From my ashtray I found a better way
To give you what I want to say
Can't look at life in terms of they
You are the one you should not betray
[Hook 2]
Some day things will be alright
Somehow it will be alright
Everything fine all the time
Everything fine all the time
Some day things will be alright
Somehow it will be alright
Everything fine all the time
Everything fine all the time
[Verse 2]
I know I live off numbered days
I tripped my d**h in two decades
I was middle aged, I was getting paid
I had lived some dreams but was still afraid
Can the future change? Through masquerade
If I give up the guilt and all of the shame
Who can we blame if our lives decay to just a shell of glory days
[Verse 3]
One more verse to make my Mark
One lifetime 'til I see ancient arcs
Did I live my life? Did I play my part?
Did I build off that initial spark?
If I die today my world's a better place
For what I did, what I saw, what I say
I hope we all unite across race
And the world of separate unions breaks
The lines on the map need to be erased
The divide conquered and restored today
I can't pick a date or undo the hate
All I know is time's coming and we movin' straight
Right into a better day
But it takes us all, somehow some way
If we want that change to come and stay
Not fade away like pa**ing waves
[Verse 4]
I can't pretend, that I comprehend
What I represent with respects to the dead
I look to the sky, waiting to ascend
I pretend God forget and he'll be back again
Left here on my own to fend
'Til then I tend to a world broken
And no one said mankind meant kind men
And I play my part as I wait for the end
