You were the bright young thing   Till you took a little sting of Victorian   Then it spread like a slick   Made your frozen heart tick   So you passed it on   But I'm alright ma, I'm alright ma   So I kick around town   See who's up and who's down      I hear you're trapped again   And you're straight on the bends   But you'd bend to be straight   Cos you're your only friend      But I'm alright ma   I'm alright ma   I'm alright ma      Turn on the TV and what do you know?   Thank God, the new god, remote control      Guess you had it sussed out   'Cause you filled me in   When I was young as semen   You say your world's gone cold   I'm stood here breaking the mold   I get this feeling, that I'm alright ma   I'm alright ma, I'm alright ma      Dad swears and mum don't care cos she knows   No-one hears her when her eyes are closed   Did you get what you want   Is your television keeping you happy?      Guess you had it sussed out   'Cause you filled me in   When I was young as semen   You say your world's gone cold   I'm stood here breaking the mold   I get this feeling, that I'm alright ma   I'm alright ma, I'm alright ma   I'm alright ma
