You know you got it
You know you want some more
When you need it, come and get it
Cause I'm not waiting anymore
I'm a sinner, from beginner
Done it all before
But I don't care anymore; anymore
I'm alright nothing's wrong
Feed me lies just move on
I'm alright nothing's wrong
Feed me lies just move on, oh yeah
Alright; upside
Drugs keep me up all night
Oh yeah; don't care
Won't find me anywhere
I'm a sinner, from beginner
Done it all before
I'm a shmuck, all outta luck
But I don't care anymore; anymore
I'm alright nothing's wrong
Feed me lies just move on
I'm alright nothing's wrong
Feed me lies just move on, oh yeah
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
Woah; Woah
I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm all right ha ha ha HA
