It's Alright (Don't Think About It)

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 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 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
