Dual Core - Everything Is Alright Lyrics

Lyrics Everything Is Alright - Dual Core



It′s hard acting like everything ain't going terribly
Showing off my strengths when I need someone to carry me
Looking for a kickstart, the crowd fund a charity
The more get poorer as we widen the disparity
My friend took a second job waiting on his stock to vest
Cause full time in tech ain′t enough to pay the cost of rent
Stress comes with consequence, asked if he's exhausted yet
The bubble's gonna burst and it′s weighing on his consciousness
Heavy on his mind from the people he′s been walking past
Every day to work, then at night when he comes walking back
They wonder why the market's on the verge about to burn and crash
Cause unemployed′s the standard for majority of working class
I'm struggling for words just to proper fill these pages
Meanwhile my friend′s grinding every night for wages
Monday through to Sunday, burning hours every night
Still he manages a smile fronting everything's alright
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
The newspaper writes "things will never be the same"
The radio describes "it′ll end with bang bang"
The television cites "life is like a dice game"
And it's hard acting like everything is alright
Another day of strain, feeling drained is now the trend
Scraping by′s the way of life, worried for my friend
Stiffed him on his raise, plus they hiked his rent again
All this got him feeling trapped, wondering when this sentence ends
Started out with bright eyes, ready for the ride
Eventually becoming numb, feeling dead inside
It's hard acting like everything is alive
With a city full of homelessness struggling to survive
The Bay is in decay once you step outside your door
Building up these skyscrapers, can′t afford the floor
Sprint in different paths, think they need a semaphore
Watch it get more lavish while it's rotting at the core
This future of uncertainty makes people live in fear
But galas and events getting bigger every year
Meanwhile my friend′s trying to push his code to prod
It's the second time this week he's late to his other job
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
The newspaper writes "things will never be the same"
The radio describes "it'll end with bang bang"
The television cites "life is like a dice game"
And it′s hard acting like everything is alright
Welcome to this gauntlet of thorns along its axis
In some regard the human race, but even more disastrous
Sharp-spined sweet-centered dream is just a cactus
Growing jobs and lower taxes, ever-promised practice
The top 1% leaving all but one below
Prices rushing up, but income is getting slow
My friend about to drown, can't swim against the flow
Barely treading water, second job let him go
Realized the struggle keeping pace with all the higher rent
Leadership starts to wonder where all the desire went
Drawing on the savings that′s intended for retirement
Selling off his future just maintaining his environment
Catch us living fast while the sun is setting slow
Tomorrow shadow's grow just to keep the status quo
Word to E-40, gotta Tell Me When To Go
The boom becomes a bust
How or when, you never know
It's hard acting like everything is alright
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
It′s hard acting like everything is alright
It's hard acting like everything is alright
The newspaper writes "things will never be the same"
The radio describes "it′ll end with bang bang"
The television cites "life is like a dice game"
And it's hard acting like everything is alright
