It's Not OK |
A man was bothering me today and I Wanted to tell him to go away |
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay. |
He said he didn’t want to shoot that man |
And it was his thing and I wouldn’t understand |
And he had done all that he can, okay. |
I guess his body was as good as mine |
And just like me he was wasting time |
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay. |
He was filling tank and he asked for money |
I lied and said I didn’t have any |
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change. |
Don’t do a thing. |
Stay right there. |
You’ll lie there. |
You don’t seem to care |
I know it’s hard to survive in the city |
When the beautiful days don’t look so pretty |
And you don’t have windows to keep the night away, okay. |
He was dirty and stink and just a bit crude |
But I didn’t say that because that’s kind of rude |
And he didn’t care what I had to say in the first place, okay. |
I wanted to say you’re a big disgrace to the world, |
Yourself, and the human race |
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay. |
No it’s not okay and I didn’t do that |
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice rest |
Of the day |
Don’t do a thing. |
Don’t do a thing. |
Stay right there. |
You’ll lie there. |
You’ll lie there. |
You don’t seem to care. |
Guess he bought some booze with it And sure that bothers me a little bit but it’s his life and I can’t tell him |
How to live it As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to Say like… |
Don’t do a thing. |
Stay right here. |
You’ll lie here. |
You don’t seem to care. |
You’ll die here. |
You don’t seem to care |
