Everything's Alright Lyrics

Mary Magdalene
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
Oh don't you know
Everything's alright yes
Everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by

So forget all about us tonight

Apostles' Women
Everything's alright yes
Everything's alright yes

Mary Magdalene
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Oh then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes
Everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight

Apostles' Women
Everything's alright yes
Everything's alright yes

Judas
Hey - hey - hey
Woman your fine ointment -
Brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair

Mary Magdalene
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
Oh don't you know

Mary Magdalene, Apostles' Women
Everything's alright yes
Everything's alright yes

Jesus
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always
Pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! while you still have me
Move! while you still see me
You'll be lost and you'll be sorry
When I'm gone

Mary Magdalene
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Oh then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes
Everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes and relax...

All
Everything's alright yes
Everything's alright yes...
