Be Alright
The Supervillains Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alarm clock say hello to my dying head
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
And I really didn't get any sleep last night
Just thought about things that I shouldn't have said
The days all seem to run together now
I want to feel better but I don't know how
I reach for the bottle and it's not there
Last night was the wrong night to learn to share

and I know that things can't really be that bad
And I know that I won't start feeling better
Until I stop feeling so damn bad...it's gonna be alright

I just want to say "what the fuck are you doing?"
You don't even care about the people that you're screwin'
Or the lives that you ruin
Rationalize with just one word: legalize
Well I'm sick and fucking tired of people lying to me
Is something wrong with me? do I got a disease?
You single me out because I smoke weed
Well I don't get in fights, and I'll never OD
It's just like sodomy, you know neither are legal
But we do 'em anyway
If I smoke and you smoke weed
Then we smoke weed its unity all day
Do we cause that much of a threat?
Go ahead and wrap your plastic around my head

so I looked at the clock and its twenty past four
And I'm still high from the night before
I wanna find some roaches on the floor
You know what I'm really looking for
I want to smoke a joint that lasts forever
I want to drink a beer that never ever ever goes warm




Gets you drunk with no hangover
Twice a week I'll try to stay sober yeah

Overall Meaning

In The Supervillains's song "Be Alright," the singer wakes up feeling terrible after a night where he didn't sleep well and spent too much time dwelling on past mistakes. He's feeling lost and unsure of how to feel better. He thinks about reaching for the bottle, but realizes it's not the solution, and that he won't truly start feeling better until he stops feeling so bad. The singer then switches gears and calls out someone who doesn't care about the people they're hurting, and who rationalizes their destructive behavior with just one word: legalize. He argues that people lie to him and single him out for smoking weed, despite the fact that it's no worse than alcohol. Despite all of this, the singer is still hopeful that things will work out and that he'll find the peace that he's searching for.


One could interpret the song as a reflection on personal struggles and the ways in which society can make things even harder. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with feelings of isolation and judgment, and searches for a way to find hope and healing. The chorus, "it's gonna be alright," serves as a reminder that even in the toughest of times, there is always a way forward.

god damn man this song always hits me in the feel good spot. i love itttttt! i wish more people listened to music like this, the world would be a better place 100%

@cherryof85

I Roadied for the villains for a while, prolly the most fun i've ever had in my life. The villains are awesome squared, and i think all the songs from horseshoes and hand grenades are better versions than the one they re-recorded for massive. They slowed them all down and took the heavy skacore vibe out. regardless they are my favorite band.

@AgentChodeyBanks

Highly underrated band. Shoutout to my central FL peeps

@algorithmdisciple9456

I absolutely hate that this album isnt on spotify

@DoAction

Ahhh...These were the days! Back when Ska was huge and the kids were sooo cool. If you uygs like this type of music, you should check out another skacore band from O-town, The Spitvalves.
