Oh hey oh hey..., all my Rage...
It takes a long time..., to be OK...
Oh hey..., hmmm all my rage..
[1st x thru - It's like a long crime..., you need to get paid]
[2nd x thru - It's like a long crime, it needs to be paid
Oh hey…, all my rage,
I'll be OK..., I'll be OK... (Ohhh, I'll be OK...)
[2x]
It’s OK to stay..., and not be OK
But rather be OK, OK to stay and play... (I'll be OK)
It’s OK to crave..., and not be OK...
It’s OK to say, I’m not OK
It’s like…, a long crime…, long time to pay... (I'll be OK)
But I’ll be OK..., OK OK to play... (hmmm..., I'll be OK)
Poor me… ... ..., another cup a you!
Like the seven seals the angles break
And make you feel all the pain (pain... I'll be OK)
You, then gave… (I'll be OK)
Away… (I'll be OK), away… (OK)
Away…, mmm - away...
