Lyrics: It's Not Ok

Stop living your life for the alarm,
That wakes you up every day at eight,
Leave your Peugeot on the forecourt,
It's all too much for you to take.
Your girlfriend don't love you but still she slaves,
To make a home for you to stay.
The people above you, they keep you held down.
The boys, the boys you'd love to make.

[Chorus]:
Leaning on your fence when you told me,
You were gonna make lots of money,
Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes,
Rolling out the carpet to regrets.
Now you're not so young, it's too easy
To be a dreamer, wake up and be free,
Your clock is ticking fast, friend, believe me,
You only get one chance, can you hear me?

It's not OK to be this way,
It's not OK to be a slave.

Stop living your life for a man in a tie.
He's just a fool the same as you.
His daughter don't love him but still he slaves,
To make a way for her to choose,
Her teenage dreams are here today,
But in the morning they'll be gone,
Washed away by the minimum wage.
The same, the same as everyone.

[Chorus]

It's not OK to be this way,
It's not OK to be a slave.

[Chorus]

It's not OK to be this way,
Not OK to be this way,
Not OK to be this way,
Not OK to be a slave,
To be a slave,
To be a slave.
