I like this, too, but it's almost too cold.  He's thought about it too much 
and phrased it Pete solo style.  I like the flag one better, because it's so 
raw.  It pretty much sums up what The Who is about.

I don't wanna need...
I don't need no one,
I don't need no thing,
I don't need no...
I don't need no fucking flag,
I don't need no scooter,
I don't need you.
I'm alright,
I've got my drugs,
I'm alright,
I'm fucking alright.

As long as I'm young,
As long as I can stay young,
I'll be alright.


Hey,
Please don't leave me,
Now I'm gettin' older,
You know I need you,
I need you so badly now.
Please don't leave me
You know I brought you here,
With my love.
I brought you here,
With my lust,
My lust for living,
My lust for loving.

You and I brought this child into the world,
My little girl.
Please don't leave me,
I don't want you to go.

You'll be alright,
You'll be alright,
We'll always be alright,
I was alright.

There's nothing wrong with my kids,
There's nothing wrong with your kids,
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright,
And if my kids are alright,
Your kids must be alright.

I don't know how we did it,
But we did it.
Everything's alright.


So lucky, oh so lucky
All our kids, well they're okay,
Stay lucky, um be lucky
Make sure they stay that way.
'Cause the kids, the kids are...
They're alright.
The kids, the kids are...
Okay now,
The kids, the kids are...
Alright now,
The kids, the kids are...
They're okay.

Yes, they're alright,
The kids are alright.
Set them free,
Set them free.
Their glances they fill me,
Let them go.


When you look into your children's faces,
See the light in their eyes,
There sure is no replacement.
You gotta to keep their lives around, yeah.

The kids, the kids, they're alright,
The kids, the kids, they're okay now,
The kids, the kids, we'll keep them alright,
The kids, the kids, we'll keep them okay.
La, la, la-la
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright,
The kids are alright.
