Dual Core - Everything Is Alright lyrics
[Dual Core - Everything Is Alright lyrics]
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
(It's hard) acting like everything
Ain’t going terribly
Showing off my strengths when I
Need someone to carry me
Looking for a kickstart
The crowd fund a charity
The more get poorer as we widen the disparity
My friend took a second job waiting
On his stock to vest
'Cause full time in tech ain't enough
To pay the cost of rent
Stress comes with consequence
Asked if he’s exhausted yet
The bubble’s gonna burst and it’s
Weighing on his consciousness
Heavy on his mind from the
People he's been walking past
Every day to work
Then at night when he comes walking back
They wonder why the market's on the
Verge about to burn and crash
'Cause unemployed's the standard for
Majority of working class
I'm struggling for words just to
Proper fill these pages
Meanwhile my friend's grinding every
Night for wages monday through to Sunday
Burning hours every night
Still he manages a smile
Fronting everything's alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
The newspaper writes "things will
Never be the same"
The radio describes "it'll end
With bang bang"
The television cites "life is
Like a dice game" and it’s hard acting like
Everything is alright
Another day of strain
Feeling drained is now the trend
Scraping by’s the way of life
Worried for my friend
Stiffed him on his raise
Plus they hiked his rent again
All this got him feeling trapped
Wondering when this sentence ends
Started out with bright eyes
Ready for the ride
Eventually becoming numb, feeling dead inside
It’s hard acting like everything is alive
With a city full of
Homelessness struggling to survive
The bay is in decay once
You step outside your door
Building up these skyscrapers
Can’t afford the floor
Sprint in different paths
Think they need a semaphore
Watch it get more lavish while
It’s rotting at the core
This future of uncertainty makes
People live in fear
But galas and events getting
Bigger every year
Meanwhile my friend’s trying to push
His code to prod
It’s the second time this week he’s
Late to his other job
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
The newspaper writes "things will
Never be the same"
The radio describes "it'll end
With bang bang"
The television cites "life is
Like a dice game" and it’s hard acting like
Everything is alright
Welcome to this gauntlet of
Thorns along it's axis
In some regard the human race
But even more disastrous
Sharp-spined sweet-centered dream is
Just a cactus growing jobs and lower taxes
Ever-promised practice
The top 1% leaving all but one below
Prices rushing up, but income is getting slow
My friend about to drown
Can’t swim against the flow
Barely treading water, second job let him go
Realized the struggle keeping pace with
All the higher rent
Leadership starts to wonder where
All the desire went
Drawing on the savings that’s
Intended for retirement
Selling off his future just
Maintaining his environment
Catch us living fast while the
Sun is setting slow
Tomorrow shadow’s grow just to
Keep the status quo
Word to E-40, gotta Tell Me When To Go
The boom becomes a bust
How or when, you never know
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
The newspaper writes "things will
Never be the same"
The radio describes "it'll end
With bang bang"
The television cites "life is
Like a dice game" and it’s hard acting like
Everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
(It's hard) acting like everything
Ain’t going terribly
