Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up, make up, bring it up, shake up
Stand by, don't cry, watching while the world die
Big car, movie star, hot tip, go far
Blind date, too late, take a bus, don't wait
[Verse 2]
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you
[Verse 3]
Limp wrist, tight fist, contact, no twist
Black dress, no mess, people want no less
No less
Stand by, don't cry, watching while the world die
Three lane, fast lane, standing in the cold rain
[Verse 4]
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you
[Verse 5]
Headlight, high life, can't sleep, good night
Up tight, big fight, big deal, too right
Too right
Big town, don't drown, jump back, turn around
No life, flick knife, finish off my life
[Verse 6]
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you
