It's Not Ok

(album: The Foundation - 2008)

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

I guess his body was as good as mine
And 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
My conscience took over and I gave him a hand full of change.

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

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 stinky, just a bit crude
But I didn't say that 'cause that's kinda rude
And 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. Don't do a thing.
Stay right there.
You'll lie there. You'll lie there.
You don't seem to care.

You don't

Well, 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
That's right
As he turned and started to go his way
I tried to think of something wise to say
Like...

Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
Stay right there.
You'll die there. You'll die there.
'Cause you don't seem to care.

You'll die there. You'll die there.
You don't seem to care
