[Intro]
Uh-huh, yeah
Do you look like ’cause you saw the baby before?

[Refrain]
Seven years until the jubilee
Seven years until we have a jubilee
Jubilee, jubilee

[Verse 1]
Kid, this is my s*it, don’t listen to me
It’s all my s*it, we’ll all get free
We all get free, in the family
We all get free, we all get free
Kid, this is my s*it, don’t listen to me
But that’s just it, let’s all get free
We all get free, in the family
We all get free, we all get free

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep the rhythm alive
Got to believe to survive

[Chorus]
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight (Yeah-yeah)
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night (Yeah-yeah)
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight (Yeah-yeah)

[Refrain]
Seven years until the jubilee (Ooh, seven years, seven years, seven years)
Seven years until we have a jubilee
Jubilee, jubilee

[Verse 2]
It was a miracle, you and me
And the dog and the cat, we all got free
We all got free in the family
We all get free, we all get free
And the movie stars were ego-free
We all became what we could never be
See, we all get free, we all get free we all get free

[Interlude]
Do you see the life you’re living?
(I’m in the red, I know it, I know it, I’m in the red)
Can you see the life you’re living?
(I’m nervous, but I’m ready, I’m nervous, but I’m ready)
Let go of the life you’re living
Let yourself see, how free you can be
(So much s*it’s about to go down)

[Chorus]
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night (Yeah-yeah)
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight (Nothing’s ever gonna be the same)
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight

[Bridge]
You too are someone’s child
Returning to the wild
Do you see the life you’re living?
Let go of the life you’re living (You too are someone’s child)
Do you see the life you’re living?
Let go of the life you’re living (Returning to the wild)
Let yourself see, how free you can be (Returning to the wild)

[Chorus]
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night (Yeah-yeah)
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight (Yeah-yeah)
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night (Yeah-yeah)
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight (Yeah-yeah)
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight
Baby’s alright, the kids are alright
The baby was up all night
Babies alright, shining so bright
Put ’em in the limelight

[Outro]
It’s not working
It’s not working?
