Be Alright

Music and lyrics by Andy Bertelsen

The flowers didn’t grow at all this summer

Through the cracks in the concrete

And the smog came in so thick through the shutters

That I could hardly see the street

As buildings fell in their same old fashion

To demolition ball and chain

Till just like all our love and passion

Only memories remain

It’s a hundred and ten degrees

But alone it’ll be cold as hell tonight

So you go out and light your little fires

You say its out of mind as long as I’m out of sight

Chorus:   and I said hey

 Everything gonna be alright

 There’s a better way

But it might not be tonight

 Cause everybody loves you and nobody cares

 Everybody’s leaving but you ain’t going nowhere

Girl I know that it don’t seem fair at all tonight

But its gonna be alright

Now these days the blues all look like black

And I’m making revolutions running down a one way track

Well I aint gone but I aint coming back and you know its sad

The way its gone

From good to bad

Chorus

Now there’s something in the water

That must be getting in my head

Cause everybody is dying

Or there already dead

They got the drug store closed up

The doors they’re all locked

They got the streets of this town rolled up with the sidewalks

Where I sleepout on the lawn letting nobody in

Just a waiting on the dawn to come around and break me again

As I wonder

When will it all end

When will it all end

When will it all end

chorus
