Song Two: Alright

The second track on the so-called "7X7" EP which has yet to be created is "Alright". It is a pretty straight forward rocking tune with a slightly unique melody line that reminds me of Dinosaur Jr. It definately calls for some screaming J. Mascis leads.
The lyrics are self explanatory. I wrote them probably a month or two after moving to SF.

It's Alright (2X)

I was alive.
I was getting bye and bye.
I was in a routine.
It was where I had to be.

I was glad
that the world was not all bad,
not all of the time,
not every single day.

I couldn't leave it, not today,
I can't believe it.
This buzzing in my ears
why won't it go away?
I'm not annoyed
I'm not paranoid
I'm sticking to my guns.
I know I'm not the only one.

Taking the train
in the early morning rain
to the end of the line
I'm gonna see it through this time

Out on the streets
with the crackheads and the freaks,
if I was one of their kind,
you know, that would suit me fine

Can't let it slip away
I really mean it
I've got a debt to pay
I gotta feed it
I'm not alone,
I am not alone.
I'm sticking to my guns.
I know I'm not the only one.

It's alright (2X)

I was tired.
The travel had made me wired.
I was slightly unwound.
I had this fever going on.

The price that was set,
you know, I haven't figured yet.
I'm along for the ride.
I'm gonna take it to the end of the line.

I couldn't leave it, not today,
I can't believe it.
This buzzing in my ear,
why won't it go away?
I'm not annoyed,
I'm not paranoid.
I'm sticking to my guns,
I know I'm not the only one

It's Alright (4X)
