It's Not OK Songtext
von Zac Brown Band

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
