It's Alright Lyrics
(It's alright)
I can hear it
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression
I hope it's gonna be alright
'Cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
Yeahah
But there's one thing for sure
Music is our life's foundation
And shall succeed all the nations to come
Yeahah
'Cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on...)
(Yeahah)
(On and on and on...)
(For it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on)
But the music shall last
I can hear it on a timeless wavelength
Never dissipating but giving us strength
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
'Cause it's gonna be alright
(It's alright) (It will be alright)
(It's alright) (It's gonna be alright)
(Aaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaahaahahahahaaaaaaaaaheheheeeeehheeeeeh...)

I've gotta disagree. It's a gorgeous song. At least the album version is. I don't care for the more techno-ish single remix. Supposedly Neil and Chris hated the way the Introspective version turned out. So, again, I play the role of the contrarian.
I don't think the claim is that music is going to prevent all the s*** that's going on...just that at least we have music and always will, no matter how much everything else sucks.
This is probably the worst of all the Pet Shop Boy songs. Not only is the sentiment totally wrong (The world is going to hell in a handcart and music will save it....rrriight), but it is a total mess of a song that Tennant/Lowe picked up from somewhere and put their own take on it, i.e. one of their very few cover versions. I wish they'd left it in the gutter where they'd found it.
