It’s Alright [7" Version]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Dictation being forced in Afghanistan
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I hope it's going to be alright
I hope the music plays forever

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Forests falling at a desperate pace
The earth is dying and desert taking its place
People under pressure on the brink of starvation

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Tessa Niles]
I hope it's gonna be alright
(Alright, alright, alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on forever)
And the music plays forever
(Alright, alright)

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
Generations will come and go
But there's one thing for sure
Music is our life's foundation
And shall succeed all the nations to come

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Tessa Niles]
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on forever)
And the music plays forever

[Verse 4: Neil Tennant]
The year three thousand may still come to pass
But the music shall last
I can hear it on a timeless wavelength
Never dissipating, but giving us strength

[Chorus: Neil Tennant, Tessa Niles & Chris Lowe]
(It's alright)
I think it's gonna be alright
(It's gonna be)
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Tessa Niles]
'Cause the music plays forever
(Gonna be alright)
If the music plays forever
(It will be alright)
If the music plays forever
(I think it's gonna be alright)
It's gonna be alright
(If the music plays)

[Outro: Tessa Niles]
(It's al... alright)
(It's alright)
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
