It's Not OK - The Enemy

Stop living your life for the alarm

That wakes you up everyday at eight

Leave your Peugot on the forecourt

It’s all too much for you to take

Your girlfriend don’t love ya, but still she slaves to make a home for you to

stay

The people above ya, they keep you held down, the boys, the boys you’d love to

make

Yeaaaah

Leaning on your fence when you told me

You were gunna make lots of money

Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes

Rolling out a carpet to regret

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

Its not ok to be this way

Not ok to be a slave

Stop living your life by the 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

Yeahhhh

Leaning on your fence when you told me

You were gunna make lots of money

Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes

Rolling out the carpet to regret

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

Not ok to be a slave

Yeaah

Leaning on your fence when you told me

You were gunna make lots of money

Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes

Rolling out the carpet to regret

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

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
