The Specials
Doesn’t Make It Alright
[Verse 1]
Just because you're nobody
It doesn't mean that you're no good
Just because there's a reason
It doesn't mean it's understood

[Chorus]
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright

[Verse 2]
Some people think they're really clever
To smash your head against the wall
Then they say, "You got it my way"
They really think they know it all

[Chorus]
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright

[Verse 3]
Just because you're a black boy
Just because you're a white
It doesn't mean you've got to hate him
It doesn't mean you've got to fight
[Chorus]
It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it, it doesn't make it alright

[Outro]
Just because you're nobody!
