It´s Alright Ma (I´m Only Bleeding)

Darkness at the break of noon
Shatters even the silver spoon
A handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying

Advertising signs, they con you into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime, life outside goes on
All around you, oh

Some win 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," no

Temptation pages flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan, but unlike before
You discover you just be one more
One more person crying

Words work like bullets bark
While human gods aim for their marks
That make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christ that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
Not much is really sacred no more, no more

Preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred dollar plates
While goodness hides behind its gates
But even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked

It's alright, mama
It's alright, mama, I'm gonna try
It's alright, mama, mama
Oh mama, mama, mama, mama, it's alright
It's alright, alright
It's alright, mama, mama, it's alright
It's alright now, oh, it's alright now
It's alright, mama, mama, mama, it's alright
It's alright, mama, mama, it's alright

It's alright, mama, mama, mama, it's alright, mama
Mama, mama, mama, don't worry about it, don't worry
I'm gonna try, mama, mama, mama, it's alright
Your time is alright, mama, mama, mama, mama
