It’s Alright for You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up, make up, bring it up, shake up
Stand by, don't cry, watching while the world dies
Big car, movie star, hot tip, go far
Blind date, too late, take a bus, don't wait

[Chorus]
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you

[Verse 2]
Limp wrist, tight fist, contract, no twist
Black dress, no mess, people want no less, no less
Stand by, don't cry, watching while the world dies
Three lane, fast plane, standing in the cold rain

[Chorus]
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Headlight, high life, can't sleep, good night
Up tight, big fight, big deal, too right, too right
Big town, don't drown, jump back, turn around
No life, flick knife, finish off my life


[Chorus]
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
It's alright for you
For you

[Guitar Solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
