Strong as an Oak Songtext
von Watsky

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I′m strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don't grow on trees
And I′m B-R-O-K-E (broke!)

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I'm strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don't grow on trees
And I′m B-R-O-K-E (I′m fuckin' broke, y′all)

Them rims, them rings, them things, you can bring 'em out
I just had my debit card declined at In-N-Out
The line is flipping out, giving me evil eyes
Fuck the soda, re-run it with just the cheesy fries
Because I don′t think money is the devil
I'm not sinking, I′m just kicking it at sea level
I got my floaties on


I'm focusing on all the wonderful stuff with the force of Obi Wan
Kenobi bro, I'm broke although I won′t be woebegone
′Cause even though my bank account is low or overdrawn
I'm down to mow your lawn
I′m getting open, I'm soaking up every moment
And so we should make a toast
We won′t be sober till the broke of dawn

Because beer is cheap
And because love is free
I'm buzzin′, feeling like every friend is a cousin, G
And someday we'll be reminiscing on some
Wasn't we just so down and out?
But we were happy then, ′cause

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I′m strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don't grow on trees
And I′m B-R-O-K-E (broke!)

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I'm strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don′t grow on trees
And I'm B-R-O-K-E (I′m hella broke, bro)


Why should I sit on my ass on the couch
And be asking why life isn't equal?
With lesser possessions I'm light as a feather
And so I can fly like an eagle
′Cause everyone dies and I wonder
Why leaders in power would lie to their people
Be planning like they could be fitting a camel
Up into the eye of a needle

But damn it, I′d settle for fitting a '94 Camry
Inside of my driveway
I′m sick of the image, I'm living my life
And I′m doing it my way
I'd rather be making the choices I′m proud of
Than chasing a mountain of money
But if that mountain comes to me, I'm climbing it

Got a brick and I'm laying it down
Got a shovel, I′m breaking this ground
Because I′m in the red
But it's only a color that I will be painting this town
Because when I make it then I dedicate it to the friends I stayed with
Who would do me favours, even lend me paper
When I couldn′t pay for a little takeout to the fact

That whatever you think that it means
I be here and I'm living my dreams
And it′s cause of the people I leaned
On when I came apart at the seams
So gimme the moon, and gimme the spoon
I'm licking it clean
Until there just ain′t nothing left
But who would lend a hand, 'cause

Everything is A-O
Everything is A-O
So when I say day-oh
You say everything is A-O

When I say day-oh
You say everything is A-O
When I say day-oh
You say everything is A-O

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I'm strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don′t grow on trees
And I′m B-R-O-K-E (broke)

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I'm strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don′t grow on trees
And I'm B-R-O-K-E
I′m extra broke, yo

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I'm strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don′t grow on trees
And I'm B-R-O-K-E (you say everything's A-O)

Everything is A-OK (yup)
Because I′m strong as an O-A-K (an oak!)
But money don′t grow on trees
And I'm B-R-O-K-E (I′m fuckin' broke, y′all)
