Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's with all the smiling people
Sinking in the mud?
Must've been the wire treatment
Think that it's enough
[Refrain]
'Cause I'm alright, yeah
'Cause I'm alright
[Chorus]
You're running way too fast
You don't need to save my life
You're running way too fast
You don't need to save my life
[Instrumental]
Call yourselves the burdened people
Tired of misery
What's the sense to aim the barrel
Down at your own feet
[Refrain]
'Cause I'm alright, yeah
'Cause I'm alright
[Chorus]
You're running way too fast
You don't need to save my life
You're running way too fast
You don't need to save my life
You don't need to save my life
[Instrumental]
You're running way too fast
You don't need to save my life
You're running way too fast
You're running way too fast
You're running way too fast
You don't need to save my life
[Instrumental]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
