Lyrics

Make sure you get those gas lights turned up bright
Make sure you get all the people back to work it makes them feel alright
Make sure they’ve got something in which they can believe
Make sure they repeat the mantra “work sets you free”

Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end

Make sure you send all the children back to school
Make sure you get the teachers to tell them everything’s cool
Make sure everybody works hard for those special grades
Make sure you never let slip the system’s always been tailor-made

Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end

Make sure you’ve got the people exactly where you want
Make sure they pay back into the system to keep it strong
So that your offspring hold all the cards in this poker game
And the likes of us never get to stake our claim

Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end

So one day in the future everybody in this room is going to die
And the best thing you can do for yourself right now is make sure your life is not a lie
One thing we have in built as humans is a feeling of discontent
Just be aware that sometimes that feeling is put there by your government

Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end
Making it alright in the end
