lirik lagu matt pless – white picket fences
there once was a boy who sat in a box
for twenty-some years ’til they shipped him off
to a brand new box but that’s okay
cause the love of his life who became his bride
would stand by his side before he put her aside
now she cries over puddles of spilled pride but that’s okay
and they raised a child to think for himself
’til he questioned god then he needed help
so they got that prescription filled and now that’s okay
and every day they wake and they open their eyes
and they put on their masks and they go outside
and they hide what’s inside from a world they despise
but that’s okay
it’s alright, it’s okay
all in all, it’s disarrayed
it’s the same thing every day
and that’s okay
it’s alright, it’s okay
all in all, what can you say?
is it ever gonna change
if it’s okay?
so they live behind a white picket fence
where their rules were set by the government
through a pixel box that makes no sense but that’s okay
daddy slaves away so the bills get paid
mommy finds new ways to sedate the pain
while little what’s-his-name plays video games and that’s okay
when you’re glued in front of a flat tv
where you’ll never question authority
you’ll just be all that you can be but that’s okay
so you fall in line thinking you don’t care
while you run in circles and get nowhere
then you’ll wonder how you ended up there but that’s okay
it’s alright, it’s okay
they look just like you and me
flailing in their misery
and that’s okay
it’s alright, it’s okay
when it’s all work and no play
it makes jack a real dollboy
but that’s okay
now they’re all caught up in the same routine
while they’re chasing down some elusive dream
in the scheme of things, it seems obscene but that’s okay
cause the kid’s in school but he cannot think
while his mom’s handcuffed to the kitchen sink
and his dad’s in love when he has a drink but that’s okay
and he says “my son, if you only knew
what that cereal box has in store for you
you’d be drinking coffee too and that’s okay”
cause they might be black or they might be white
and they might be left or they might be right
but they all lose sight in the end and that’s okay
it’s alright, it’s okay
in the land of liberty
where there’s nothing really free
and that’s okay
it’s alright, it’s okay
that’s the way it’s gotta be
when we all end up the same
and that’s okay
cause we’ve got ourselves to blame but that’s okay
gonna find another way if that’s okay
