This is the first song off Pedro the Lion’s fourth album, Achilles Heel. The song is a comparison between Pedro the Lion, a small indie rock band, and mainstream, more well-known rock bands, and how Pedro the Lion can still be successful without acting like mainstream groups.
[Verse 1]
Bands with managers are going places
Bands with messy hair and smooth white faces
[Chorus]
But you don't believe when I say that it won't be alright
Alright
Alright
[Verse 2]
Vans with 15 passengers are rolling over
But I trust T. William Walsh and I'm not afraid to die
[Chorus]
But you don't believe when I say that it won't be alright
Alright
Alright
That it won't be alright
Alright
Alright
Cause it won't be alright
Alright
Alright
