Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song out of a true self experience where I was forced to seek a restraining order from a stalker, but was prevented from doing so having not met the legal requirements. I did not however end up killing him, I just thought I should throw that in.
Song Description
It's All RIght is a simple, raw, happy jazz tune about a girl who is caught up in the legal tape of trying to get police protection from a stalker who invades her home. The chorus sings the constant self denial that everything is "All Right", but ends in taking matters into her own hands as she kills him in her house.

Lyrics
nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah
I walk around this place I call home all alone
an open door a drawer nothing else nothing more
but it's all right
yes, that's what they told me
that it's all right
I see your car drive by again and again
and there's something that sure looks like feet
'neith the curtain
I find a knife that just might sufice for a weapon
but it's all right
won't you come and get what you came for
cause it's all right
How do you think the stain will come out of my rug
you grab his head and I'll grab his feet out of love
now do you think the police will take me serious?
cause it's all right
yes, that's what they told me
that it's all right
and I came to you asking
for your protection
but all your silly rules only
qualified me for rejection
now tell me how is this all...
nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah
