Alright Ma Lyrics

You were the bright young thing till you took a little sting of Victorian
Then it spread like a slick, made your frozen heart tick, so you passed it on
But I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma
So I kick around town see who's up and who's down

I hear you're trapped again
And you're straight on the bends
But you'd bend to be straight
Cos you're your only friend

But I'm Alright Ma
I'm Alright Ma
I'm Alright Ma

Turn on the TV, and what do you know?
Thank God, the new god, remote control

Guess you had it sussed out cos you filled me in when I was young as semen
You say your world's gone cold, I'm stood here breaking the mould
I get this feeling..
That I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma

Dad swears and mum don't care cos she knows
No-one hears her when her eyes are closed
Did you get what you want
Is your television keeping you happy?

Guess you had it sussed out cos you filled me in when I was young as semen
You say your world's gone cold, I'm stood here breaking the mould
I get this feeling..
That I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma

I hear you're trapped again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
