lyrics

Got the electric Kool aid
Got the electric acid test
Got the electric Kool aid
Got the electric acid test

Things are hard
Things are hard everywhere
Things are hard
Sometimes it seems
Nobody cares

Refrain:
But it's alright
You do what you can
Look out for your brother
Do what you can

But it's alright
You do what you can
Look out for your brother and your sister
Do what you can

Instrumental

Things move along
Things fall apart and they move along
They do really fall apart
What seems right now seems wrong

But it's alright
You do what you can
Look out for your mother and your sister
Do what you can

Got the electric Kool aid
Got the electric acid test
Got the electric Kool aid
Got the electric acid test
