  • Something changed at twenty-four
    Spent my days moving to and fro
    From the bed to the bathroom floor
    Tear away my rancid skin
    This must be penance for my evasion
    Of death's returning claws
    Should've died a thousand times
    The sick kid paradigm
    Death's working overtime
    Worry 'bout my brother a lot
    Don't really talk enough
    Can't seem to say the right thing

    We're alright, we're alright
    There's time to put the world to rights
    We're alright, we're alright

    Something waning in my head
    Can't sleep and I'm seeing things
    And I can't stand the sight of myself
    "It's a generation thing"
    Said one of the old boys back in the boozer
    On his tenth pint of the day
    So I shy away from it
    Accept it for what it is
    We're all born and raised and maimed
    The dog tails you like the hound
    Then clarity brings it out
    Gotta fight it hand to hand

    We're alright, we're alright
    It's time to put the world to rights
    We're alright, we're alright

    We're alright, we're alright
    It's time to put the world to rights
    We're alright, we're alright
    It's time to put the world to rights
    We're alright, we're alright
    It's time to put the world to rights
    We're alright, we're alright
    It's time to put the world to rights
    We're alright, we're alright
    We're alright, we're alright
    We're alright, we're alright
    We're alright Writer/s: Sam Fender
