Malcolm X never lived to see the government fall
But the state he opposed made him a stamp
Maybe that's the best you can hope for if you never give up:
Your enemies will teach your corpse to dance

And you and me, buddy
We've been living for a ghost when we ain't been sticking our heads in the sand
So when I'm afraid take me by the hand
And show the world that we can't be planned

It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked

Catch me smashing my own windows
When I'm feeling nuts
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked

I've been lying on the floor
Alone and unwashed, without enough courage to brush my teeth
I'm afraid of the red that will pour out my gums
And bleed me to death in my sleep

I've been staying inside with the curtains down
Ignoring what phone calls I get
So when I come out take me by the hand and show the world a fight it won't forget
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked

Catch me smashing my own windows
When I'm feeling nuts
It's alright, it's okay
It's just that everything's fucked
