Lyrics

[00:01.63] We’re gonna be alright
[00:05.53] baby, we are still young
[00:12.00] Baby, we are still young
[00:19.96] and that’s more than some people can say
[00:30.60] We’re gonna be okay
[00:34.97] at least we have white skin
[00:41.37] and when you have white skin
[00:48.81] nobody can send you away
[00:59.16] And people are inclined to help
[01:08.05] to help
[01:12.20] other people who look like themselves
[01:32.21] We’re gonna be alright
[01:36.32] baby, we have rich friends
[01:40.68] and when you have rich friends
[01:50.97] those kinds of connections can pay
[02:01.47] We’re gonna be okay
[02:05.82] baby, we will rise up
[02:10.60] Believe we will climb up to inhabit our corner of sky
[02:30.23] And we will be inclined to help,
[02:39.71] to help
[02:43.51] other people who look like ourselves
[03:22.69] You say we don’t need a safety net
[03:28.90] we need a fire hose
[03:34.56] and you say that we’re burning, burning
[03:43.60] you tell me we’re ready to blow
[03:49.42] But ain’t there something to be said for like ability?
[04:01.31] Something good’s going to happen
[04:09.60] Someone will take us in under their wing and then
[04:16.25] we’re gonna be alright
[04:20.73] we are still good-looking
[04:26.89] Well, somewhat good-looking
[04:35.17] and everything counts in its way
[04:45.82] We are rising stars
[04:50.34] and we won’t need bootstraps
[04:56.51] We’ll hang on to kind hands
[05:01.79] of people with faces like ours
