It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)

Darkness at the break of noon
Shatters even the silver spoon
A hand made blade the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
Don't 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
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
Temptation pages flies out the door
You follow find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel the moan but unlike before
You discover you'd just be one more
One more person crying
Words work like bullets bark
While human gods aim for their marks
They 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
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
Oh mama, mama
Mama, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright mama
Mama, it's alright
It's alright mama
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 mama
I'm gonna try mama
Mama, mama, it's alright
Your time is alright mama
Oh mama, mama
