Now it's ready or not
Boy, you better come on strong
Give it all you've got
'Cause they'll really turn the pressure on
And you find it strange
But it's so insane
When you know ya don't believe that
You're part of their game
The bell rings and you come out
Fightin' just the same, yeah
CHORUS
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
Yeah
In the marketplace
Nobody's foolin' around
And ya keep the pace
Or they tell ya, buddy, please step down
There may be a smile
Or a shake of the hand
But it's policy to take you
Anyway they can
And it's everybody lookin' out
For number one, understand
CHORUS
It's alright, welcome to the world
