I Wanna Make It All Right

歌詞

Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses, both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool's gold mouthpiece, the hollow horn Plays wasted words, proves to warn That he not busy being born, is busy dying Temptation's page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you'd just be One more person crying So don't fear if you hear a foreign sound to your ear It's all right, ma, I'm only sighing As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say don't hate nothing at all except hatred Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Made everything from toy guns that spark To flesh colored Christ's that glow in the dark It's easy to see without looking too far Not much is really sacred And though the rules of the road have been lodged It's only people's games that you've got to dodge And it's all right, ma, I can make it While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked Although the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, ma, to live up to You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks they really found you A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, ensure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That isn't not he or she or them or it That you belong to For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destinies Speak jealously of them that are free Cultivate their flowers to be nothing more Than something they invest in But I mean no harm nor put fault On anyone that lives in a vault And if my thought, dreams could be seen They'd probably put my head in a guillotine But it's all right, ma, it's life and life only I'm only sighing I'm only sighing I'm only sighing
