When we go sidewalking
I'm the one who keeps you from tumbling down
My head goes boom
My heart goes bang
As you hit the ground
When it's late on Broadway
I see no light inside your eyes at all
We leap across
The passing cars
To take a fall
So how can I obey
When every day is a rollercoaster ride
You're the king of all you see
Everybody's caught up in your revelries
You're the king of all you see
Everybody's scared just to be
In your path of misery
When will you set us free?
On a rooftop decked out like a jungle
There's a rumble and a hustle that you hate
I imitate
Retaliate
And that's OK
I imitate
Negotiate
It's not OK
It's not OK
It's not OK
It's not OK
And all that I've known
Are the tricks that you showed to me
But now I'm out here on my own
So how can I obey
When every day is a rollercoaster ride
You're the king of all you see
Everybody's caught up in your revelries
You're the king of all you see
Everybody's scared just to be
In your path of misery
When will you set us free?
It's not OK
It's not OK
It's not OK
