Christmas Cheer (Everything's Going to Be Alright)

It was on the stroke of midnight

On the final Christmas Eve

People all around were saying

What do you believe?

Streets were paved with burnished gold

Statues were made of chrome

A stork, a wicked messenger

You're welcome to my home

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Then a tempest started there

As the heat began to rise

Fields of corn and rapeseed

Turned to dust before their eyes

People started blaming

Their children who went mad

The chrome began to tarnish

The gold was sold for scrap

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Then just before the end of time

The sun began to bleed

People of the world began

To sing a common creed

The Muslim kiss the Hindu

The Hindu kiss the Jew

The Jew kiss all the Buddhists

And the Christians join the queue

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright
