[Verse 1]
Would be a perfect student
An ideal contribution
Yeah, she's a general nuisance
Can't hold her tongue still
An attitude adjustment
So needed, right this moment
Yeah, she's a class distraction
Give her a chill pill

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah) Always on our case, always in our face
They don't let us live
(Ah) With so much to say 'bout us, but

[Chorus]
We didn't crack under the pressure
Yeah, we made it okay
See, we came here from some nowhere
And we came here to play
No need to talk about it, think about it
It's all meant to be
Yeah, we're alright, a-alright

[Post-Chorus]
We turned out alright (Ah, ah)
We turned out alright (Ah, ah)
Yeah, we turned out alright (Ah, ah)
We turned out alright (Ah)
Right

[Verse 2]
It came with much amusement
A note that none included
Said of a boyish student
Can't stand prosperity
A day spent in detention provided inspiration
A new way of intention
He found a remedy

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah) Always on our case, always in our face
They don't let us live
(Ah) With so much to say 'bout us but
[Chorus]
We didn't crack under the pressure
Yeah, we made it okay
See, we came here from some nowhere
And we came here to play
No need to talk about it, think about it
It's all meant to be
Yeah, we're alright, a-alright

[Post-Chorus]
We turned out alright (Ah, ah)
We turned out alright (Ah, ah)
Yeah, we turned out alright (Ah, ah)
We turned out alright (Ah)
Right

[Bridge]
Always on our case, always in our face (Ah, ah)
Always on our case, always in our face (Ah, ah)
Always on our case, always in our face (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Chorus]
We didn't crack under the pressure
Yeah, we made it okay
See, we came here from some nowhere
And we came here to play
No need to talk about it, think about it
It's all meant to be
Yeah, we're alright, a-alright
[Post-Chorus]
We turned out alright (Ah, ah)
(We turned out alright)
We turned out alright (Ah, ah)
(Joke's on you this time)
Yeah, we turned out alright (Ah, ah)
(We turned out alright)
We turned out alright (Ah)
Right
