Were gonna be alright, baby, we are still young.
Baby, we are still young, and thats more than some people can say.
Were gonna be okay; at least we have white skin,
and when you have white skin nobody can send you away.
And people are inclined to help, to help
other people who look like themselves.
Were gonna be alright; baby, we have rich friends,
and when you have rich friends, those kinds of connections can pay.
Weâre gonna be okay; baby, we will rise up.
Believe we will climb up to inhabit our corner of sky.
And we will be inclined to help, to help
other people who look like ourselves.
Ooooh oooh oooh Ooooh ooooh ooooh
Oooooh oooh oooh Ooooooooooh
You say we dont need a safety net; we need a fire hose,
and you say that were burnin, burnin, you tell me weâre ready to blow.
But aint there somethin to be said for likeability?
Something goods going to happen.
Someone will take us in under their wing and then
were gonna be alright; we are still good-looking.
Well, somewhat good-looking, and everything counts in its way.
We are rising stars, and we wont need bootstraps.
Well hang on to kind hands of people with faces like ours.
Well hang on to kind hands of people with faces like ours.
