Now it's ready or not

Boy, you better come on strong

Give it all you've got

'Cause they'll really turn the pressure on

And you find it strange

But it's so insane



When you know ya don't believe that

You're part of their game

The bell rings and you come out

Fightin' just the same, yeah



[Chorus:]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah

It's alright, welcome to the world

It's alright, welcome to the world

It's alright, welcome to the world

Yeah



In the marketplace

Nobody's foolin' around

And ya keep the pace

Or they tell ya, buddy, please step down



There may be a smile

Or a shake of the hand

But it's policy to take you

Anyway they can

And it's everybody lookin' out

For number one, understand



[Chorus]



It's alright, welcome to the world
