[Verse 1:]
Hey man down there with your head in the sand, you gotta pull it back up and get right
Before ya can't breathe, know it's all in your hands, you gotta close 'em both up and hold tight
Everything's a process and so is progress, requires you to play a part
And I can tell you don't want to, and your hope is gone, but I can show you where to start

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
All the different conversations just regarding public policy are beginning to weigh down on your soul
I don't even know where it's gonna go, and it looks unlikely we can dig out of this hole
But think about the movers and the shakers who have crafted what became us and how bad everything looked back then
And we are not new, we are just parts, it's only a matter of when

[Chorus:]
And it's gonna be alright
And when our feet collapse
We are never never never gonna look back
We are gonna rule the world one night
And this'll only be a memory
It's gonna be alright
And when our feet collapse
We are never never never gonna look back
Say it all can't change, well it just might
And this'll only be a memory
It's gonna be alright

[Verse 2:]
Now I don't know about all the logistics, but I do know something
I've been stuck in a hole for all my damn life, and I ain't gonna let it mean nothing
Our world is due for change, time to rearrange, and all the sitting politicians start shakin'
You know that can only be a good sign, I promise you good times, when the status quo starts breakin'
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
This all we are, this is our life, and we all know it's worth it
The people are shouting at their oppressors, man, this all looks too perfect
I know that the system is fucked and the people are screwed, but it's only for the moment
Things will change, it gets better, and you know it

[Chorus:]
And it's gonna be alright
And when our feet collapse
We are never never never gonna look back
We are gonna rule the world one night
And this'll only be a memory
It's gonna be alright
And when our feet collapse
We are never never never gonna look back
Say it all can't change, well it just might
And this'll only be a memory
It's gonna be alright

[Bridge:]
Well you take a picture of the run-down homes
Of the jobless and the homeless who have worked and known
That it's never been for them, it's all been a lie
But I know the change is due, it's time
And it just serves to put a smile on my face
Happy future is a feeling that I can't erase
And you gotta know
That these times look tough, and it's all so rough, but the time will come like it always does
And the old world leaves, and the new one breathes, I assure you it's time to get right
I assure you it's time to get right, yeah
[Verse 3:]
And it's true 'cause it always was, the youth don't care for the endless wars
And we are the ones who've always known, the system is not working for
The underprivileged, the underpaid, or the underfed, man, it's all a lie
But you can't lose hope, or let go of the rope, when you've never even tried

[Pre-Chorus 3:]
All the different conversations just regarding public policy are beginning to weigh down on your soul
I don't even know where it's gonna go, and it looks unlikely we can dig out of this hole
But think about the movers and the shakers who have crafted what became us and how bad everything looked back then
And we'll pull through, we'll change hearts, it's only a message to send

[Chorus:]
And it's gonna be alright
And when our feet collapse
We are never never never gonna look back
We are gonna rule the world one night
And this'll only be a memory
It's gonna be alright
And when our feet collapse
We are never never never gonna look back
Say it all can't change, well it just might
And this'll only be a memory
It's gonna be alright
