Everybodys saying
That its gonna be alright
But i cant help but wonder
If its gonna be on my dime
We are the powers
Throwing up against the tide
Burning our reserves of courage
And working just to make it alright
When we know it isnt
We know it isnt, we know it isnt
We know it isnt, it aint gonna turn out right
We know it isnt, we know it isnt, oh no
We know it isnt, thats why we got to fight
You and i are trying
But we dont get to decide
When the man comes for our paychecks
Dont you tell me itll be alright
We arent the rich ones
Some of us will barely get by
They buy diamond studded shoes with our taxes
Anything to keep us divided
You know it isnt
We know it isnt, we know it isnt
We know it isnt, it aint gonna turn out right
We know it isnt, we know it isnt, oh no
We know it isnt, thats why we got to fight
For the life and soul of the world we know
Fight, cause the promise is never gonna be enough
Watching and waiting for answers
Hoping we might see the light
You beat it into us like a hammer
So dont you tell me itll be alright
When we know it isnt
We know it isnt, we know it isnt
We know it isnt, it aint gonna turn out right
We know it isnt, we know it isnt, oh no
We know it isnt, and thats why we got to fight
For the life and soul of the world we know
Fight, cause the promise is never gonna be enough
Oh yeah we know it isnt, we know it isnt
Oh yeah we know it isnt
You know we know it isnt, we know it isnt
You know we know it isnt
We know it isnt, we know it isnt
We know it isnt
We know it isnt, we know it isnt
We know it isnt
