Diamond Studded Shoes

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 powers Throwing up against the tide Burning our reserves of courage And working just to make it alright When we know it isn't 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 got to fight 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 will barely get by They buy diamond studded shoes with our taxes Anything to keep us divided You know it isn't 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 got to fight For the life and soul of the world we know Fight, 'cause the promise is never gonna be enough Watching and waiting for answers Hoping we might see the light You beat it into us like a hammer So don't you tell me it'll be alright When we know it isn't 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, and that's why we got to fight For the life and soul of the world we know Fight, 'cause the promise is never gonna be enough Oh yeah (we know it isn't) Oh yeah (we know it isn't) You know it (we know it isn't) You know it (we know it isn't) We know it isn't, we know it isn't We know it isn't We know it isn't, we know it isn't We know it isn't
