[Verse 1]
Everybody's saying that it's gonna be alright
But I can't help but wonder
If it's gonna be on my dime
We are the poor ones
Rowing up against the tide
Burning our reserves of courage
And working just to make it alright
When we know it isn't
[Chorus]
We know it isn't, we know it isn't
We know it isn't, it ain't gonna turn out right
We know it isn't, we know it isn't, oh no
We know it isn't, that's why we gots to fight
[Verse 2]
You and I are trying
But we don't get to decide
When the man comes for our paychecks
Don't you tell me it'll be alright
We aren't the rich ones
Some of us'll barely get by
They buy diamond studded shoes with our taxes
Anything to keep us divided, you know it isn't
Everybody's saying that it's gonna be alright
But I can't help but wonder
If it's gonna be on my dime
We are the poor ones
Rowing up against the tide
Burning our reserves of courage
And working just to make it alright
When we know it isn't
[Chorus]
We know it isn't, we know it isn't
We know it isn't, it ain't gonna turn out right
We know it isn't, we know it isn't, oh no
We know it isn't, that's why we gots to fight
[Verse 2]
You and I are trying
But we don't get to decide
When the man comes for our paychecks
Don't you tell me it'll be alright
We aren't the rich ones
Some of us'll barely get by
They buy diamond studded shoes with our taxes
Anything to keep us divided, you know it isn't
