It’s alright, it’s alright

It’s alright, it’s okay

We’ve seen better days

Hey

 

Remember JFK

He tried to lead the way

But he was shot one day

In the early morning

 

Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey

We’ve seen better days

Hey

 

Remember MLK

He had a dream one day

But he was shot one day

In the early morning

 

Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey

We’ve seen better days

Hey

 

Remember Harambe

He just wanted to play

But he was shot one day

In the early morning

 

It’s alright, It’s alright

It’s alright, It’s okay

Hey

We’ve seen better days

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey
