[Verse 1]
When we were younger I used to believe
Life was a gift that we all would receive
And the good guys won and the bad guys lost
But as I grew older the wires got crossed
Now the bad guys all win
And the good guys all lose
Old folks go homeless
And kids are abused

[Chorus]
And, inside there's music and laughter and light
And somebody out there is crying tonight
It isn't okay (It isn't okay)
O-o-o-oh
It isn't alright (It isn't alright)
And we just can't walk through life

[Verse 2]
Now I don't give lectures and this is no speech
And I might not practice as well as I preach
But I was born lucky, oh, I don't know why
That stranger's my sister
I just can't pass her by
And if...
If all of us cared
And we stood side by side
We could move mountains
If only we tried
[Chorus]
'Cause inside there's music and laughter and light
And somebody out there is starving tonight
It isn't okay (It isn't okay)
O-o-o-oh
It isn't alright (It isn't alright)
And we, no, we just can't walk through life

[Bridge]
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na

Oh, no, it isn't okay (It isn't okay)

Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na

Oh, no, it isn't alright (It isn't alright)

[Verse 3]
Oh, it used to be cool to say "life isn't fair"
But here on the Earth we all breathe the same air
From the down and the out
To the crème de la crème
They could've been us
We could've been them

And I walk out the door
Oh, and I... I hate how I feel
To see someone my age
Beggin' me for a meal
[Chorus]
'Cause inside there's music and laughter and light
And somebody out there is dying tonight
It isn't okay (It isn't okay)
O-o-o-oh
It isn't alright (It isn't alright)
And we, no, we just can't walk through...

[Outro]
(It isn't okay)
Oh, no, it isn't okay, no no
(It isn't alright)
Oh, it isn't alright, no
And we, no, we just can't walk...

It isn't okay, no
(It isn't okay)
O-oh, it isn't alright
(It isn't alright)
And we just can't walk through life

No no no
