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, 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
