Intro: verse 1 It was on the stroke of midnight On the final Christmas Eve People all around were saying "What do you believe?" Streets were laid with burnished gold Statues made of chrome Up spoke the wicked messenger "You're welcome to my home" Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Instrumental: verse 2 Then tempers started flaring As the heat began to rise Fields of corn and rapeseed Turned to dust before their eyes People started blaming The changing weather map The chrome began to tarnish The gold was sold for scrap Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Instrumental: verse 3 Then just before the end of time The sun began to dim People of the world began To sing a common hymn The Muslim kissed the Hindu The Hindu kissed the Jew The Jew kissed all the Buddhists And the Christians joined the queue Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright Everything's going to be alright
