Lyrics
Is It OK
(Lyrics M. Novak, C. Webster Music - M. Novak)
Is it ok to lie with no shame
Believing in all that you proclaim
Is it ok to deceive and cheat
Winner takes all at others defeat
Is it ok to constantly steal
With avarice as you potter’s wheel
Is it ok
Is it ok to live in your phone
Other voices lost only hearing your own
Is it ok to be rude and crude
Speaking with impulse never subdued.
Is it ok always others to blame
Always the victim no tarnish to your fame
Is it ok?
Chorus:
Is it ok to act this way
Is it ok to just obey
Is it ok to not have a say
Is it ok to just stay away
Is it ok to only do it your way
At the end of the day is it still OK?
Is it ok to feel amused
While the victim’s dignity is refused
The internet gives the abusers a voice
All others must listen without choice
Is it ok for all to have an equal say
When most people don’t know night from day
Is it ok?
Is it ok to be held hostage
By attention merchants not even acknowledged
Mad men control our wants and desires
Advertising is what they require
Is it ok to rewrite the rules once written on stone
With new memes of culture that they have honed
CHORUS:
