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
