It's Gonna Be Alright (Gene Simmons, 1982)

---

Track Notes:
** Gene would offer this song to the Glaswegian band Heavy Pettin' (along with two other songs), who had opened up for KISS on the European leg of the Lick It Up tour, along with Helix, in 1984 while on location filming "Runaway." Smashed Gladys would record a version of the song titled "Give It All You've Got" on their Gene involved demo prior to their being signed by a record label. A mellow rocker it seems to use a drum loop. Two versions of this demo exist, both running to 4:27, though one has Gene laughing at the beginning of the song. The song was written by Gene, Mitch Weissman, and Mikel Japp....

[Verse]
It's gonna be alright
I asked the cards and they told me so
Try to gotta put up a fight
C'mon, let's give it a go

[Verse]
It's gonna be alright
I saw it all in the crystal ball
I'm gonna hit the heights
Don't worry, I won't let you fall

'Cause I don't want to face anymore
And I won't have to face anymore

[Verse]
It's gonna be alright
Some fool didn't think he'd fall
Want you to leave the light
C'mon, let's give it a go

I don't want to face anymore
And I (I) won't don't want to face anymore

It's gonna be alright
I saw it all in the crystal ball
It's gonna be alright

[Verse]
Some know that can't
Some know they'll probably fall
Some, they couldn't
I've done wrong but you could have gone

Cause I don't want to wait anymore
And I don't want to face anymore

I know it's gonna be alright
I saw it all in the crystal ball
It's gonna be alright
I know it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
I know it's all in the crystal ball
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright, babe

[Solo]

I know it's gonna be alright
I saw it all in the crystal ball
It's gonna be alright
I know it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
I saw it in the crystal ball
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright, babe

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright (It's gonna be, gonna be)
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright (It's gonna be, gonna be)
It's gonna be alright
