It's Alright Comments

The speaker almost seems to be singing a ballad-type song; she's revolving a lot of issues which keep bumping up against her core value of freedom. She can display her freedom with a lifestyle of, say. second hand clothes - she's proud of her thrift and her independence from the fashion industry. But it's hard work asserting freedom when the easy path is giving in. In stanzas 6 & 7 I sense she is really exhausted, not physically or even emotionally - she has energy(!) her spirits are resilient, but she's morally weary. Society won't reward her for here moral stand. In those sad last lines the ballad ends in minor key.
