We’re gonna be alright
baby, we are still young
Baby, we are still young
and that’s more than some people can say
We’re 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
We’re gonna be alright
baby, we have rich friends
and when you have rich friends
those kinds of connections can pay
We’re 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
You say we don’t need a safety net
we need a fire hose
and you say that we’re burning, burning
you tell me we’re ready to blow
But ain’t there something to be said for like ability?
Something good’s going to happen
Someone will take us in under their wing and then
we’re gonna be alright
we are still good-looking
Well, somewhat good-looking
and everything counts in its way
We are rising stars
and we won’t need bootstraps
We’ll hang on to kind hands
of people with faces like ours
