So I said, "I guess things are alright"
Sternly he replied, "you just sit tight kid"
One thing still bothered me, but I never did bother to ask
I couldn't figure out the words
Expressions and words
They're nothing but letters
Emotionally illiterate
Severely inarticulate
I don't know how to tell and I don't know how to ask
But I'm alright
Am I sheltered?
Am I trapped?
Was I saved and if so why?
Why did I get this chance?
Will I be able to use it right?
I might blow up sometimes but you know things are alright
I might complain and bitch but you know my answer never changes
Everything's alright
In the world you made I'm doing aok.
Sternly he replied, "you just sit tight kid"

Everything's alright
