lyrics

Well the rain is getting heavy and my boots are wearing thin
I ain't got no shelter 'cept the hole that I'm stuck in
If this was a story, I don't know where I'd begin
I think about the future...and I jump out of my skin

Somewhere a lady's crying, she ain't got a thing to eat
She's barely got the money for the shoes upon her feet
The minister's just laughing, he says 'Darling, don't you know you're all the same?'
Can someone please arrest this man? I don't even wanna hear his name

The clouds they keep on rolling by and I can't see the sun
A holy man once told me that it shines on everyone
Well I don't think he's lying, I just think he's got a jaded point of view
I don't like the sound of him telling people what they should and should not do

The world it ain't ok, there's something wrong, it ain't alright
It's taken so much shadow to identify the light
I don't think I can tolerate another second on this barren stage
And it feels so wrong to think this song's about the troubles of this day and age

It ain't alright
It ain't alright
It ain't alright
It ain't alright
