Lyrics It's Not OK - The Enemy

It's Not OK

Stop living your life for the alarm
That wakes you up everyday at eight
Leave your Peugot on the forecourt
It’s all too much for you to take
Your girlfriend don’t love ya, but still she slaves to make a home for you to
stay
The people above ya, they keep you held down, the boys, the boys you’d love to
make
Yeaaaah
Leaning on your fence when you told me
You were gunna make lots of money
Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
Rolling out a carpet to regret
Now you’re not so young it’s too easy
To be a dreamer, wake up and be free
Your clock is ticking fast friend believe me
You only get one chance can you hear me
Its not ok to be this way
Not ok to be a slave
Stop living your life by the man in a tie
He’s just a fool the same as you
His daughter don’t love him but still he slaves to make a way for her to choose
Her teenage dreams are here today
But in the morning they’ll be gone
Washed away by the minimum wage
The same, the same as everyone
Yeahhhh
Leaning on your fence when you told me
You were gunna make lots of money
Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
Rolling out the carpet to regret
Now you’re not so young it’s too easy
To be a dreamer, wake up and be free
Your clock is ticking fast friend believe me
You only get one chance can you hear me
It’s not ok to be this way
Not ok to be a slave
Yeaah
Leaning on your fence when you told me
You were gunna make lots of money
Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
Rolling out the carpet to regret
Now you’re not so young it’s too easy
To be a dreamer, wake up and be free
Your clock is ticking fast friend believe me
You only get one chance can you hear me
It’s not ok to be this way
Not ok to be this way
Not ok to be this way
Not ok to be a slave
To be a slave
To be a slave
