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, 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 (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 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

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
