about
A thing. Song title is apt.
lyrics
Annie are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay?
Annie sits alone in her room, depressed and listening to
All of her mother’s records
Father was neglectful as usual, she couldn’t go through with it
She made some bad decisions
Lost just every friend that she had, her soul was going to black
Out if she didn’t take control
And then she let her hair go, and took some pills down her throat
Now I hear people saying
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
I wish I cared but not after the way you treated me
Annie gets with all the guys, manipulation and lies
She’s got a terrible tendency to latch
Onto whoever will cast attention to her at last she finds
Some sort of comfort
Maybe now that high school is done, she can maybe change some
Of the things I still hold her for
Or maybe she’ll never be and act any differently
Who is this ballad really for?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
I’d wish you the best but all I could come up with is mediocrity
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
So long for now I hope someday you find out what “righteousness” means
