It's Not OK - Live

A man was bothering me today
And I wanted to tell him to go away
But I stood and listened to him anyway, OK?
And he said he didn't want to shoot that man
It was his thing and I wouldn't understand
He had done all that he can, OK?
OK

I guess his body was as good as mine
Just like me he was wasting time
Turning every stone to see what he could find, OK?
He was filling tank and he asked for money
I lied and said I didn't have any
Then my conscience took over
And gave him a handful 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 beautiful days don't look so pretty
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, OK?
He was dirty and stink and just a bit crude
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude
He didn't care what I had to say in the first place
OK

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, OK?
No, it's not OK 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
Stay right there
You'll lie there
You don't seem to care

I 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 lie there
You don't seem to care
