Everything Has Always Been All Right

(Everything Has Always Been) All Right

Well, you know me; I’m just a foolish man;

So many things that I just don’t understand;

The way I lie to all you people! It’s a crime,

But someone’s got to be here in this space and time.

And every last thing -

I tell you everything.

Every last thing, yes, every tiny detail,

Everything has always been all right.

Yes, everything has always been all right.

I’ve seen a man with a gun, out shooting children for fun,

He said it wasn’t his fault, they wouldn’t let him be a boy scout,

And all the common people might not understand why,

But every living entity was surely born to die,

And every last thing

I tell you everything.

Every last thing, yes, every tiny detail,

Everything has always been all right.

Yes, everything has always been all right.

And now the Christians are here; they preach a Gospel of fear -

They say that guilt is great, and their God wants you to hate -

And all the common people might not understand why,

But they know that everything that they’ve been taught is a lie,

And every last thing,

I tell you everything.

Every last thing, yes, every tiny detail,

Everything has always been all right.

Yes, everything has always been all right.

Now we’re dancing on into a New Age Dawn;

Here comes the Goddess blowing on a mystical Horn;

The Great God Pan knows there’s no evil to fight,

He knows that everything has always been all right.

Every last thing,

I tell you everything.

Every last thing, yes, every tiny detail,

Everything has always been all right.

Yes, everything has always been all right.

Well, you know me; I’m just a foolish man;

So many things that I just don’t understand;

The way I lie to all you people! It’s a crime,

But someone’s got to be here in this space and time.

And every last thing -

I tell you everything.

Every last thing, yes, every tiny detail,

Everything has always been all right.

Yes, everything has always been all right.
