Lyrics:

Told you once about your friends
And neighbors
They were always seeking
But they'll never find it
It's alright, it's alright
Where to go and where to see
It's always been this way
And it can never be
It's alright, it's alright
Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see
And you'll begin to learn
That's it's alright, it's alright
Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and
See it all go through
But it's alright, it's alright
Told you once about your friends
And neighbors
They were always seeking
But they'll never find it
It's alright, it's alright

Oh, that's on the live [album]. I just like the piano song ["It's Alright"] and the words, and when you play it for people, they had no idea it was a Black Sabbath song. [...] So it was just kind of fun, and then it worked out as a intro to "November Rain" live, and it just so happened that [it] came out well on tape, so we were able to use it.

MTV, November 8, 1999

Thanks! That must have taken some time. I have updated the first post now and added the song to the database.
