Title - A-O-K Artist - Sarah Bramps Year - 1997 __________ The year 1997 saw the rise of Sarah Bramps, whose breakthrough hit, "A-O-K," was a gritty yet empowering track that defined her sound and attitude. The song's ascent was fueled by her own relentless grassroots efforts; Sarah Bramps personally pressed thousands of singles and handed them out at every show, festival, and record store parking lot she could find. This unconventional approach, coupled with the song's raw energy, propelled it to radio staple status, proving that she was more than A-O-K... she was a force to be reckoned with. __________ Hey there, kid, with the smudged-out eyes Livin' on a diet of cheap thrills and little white lies You got your bottle of regrets and your cigarettes You think you're a rebel but you're just placing bad bets And I used to fight the battles that you couldn't win I used to cry about the reckless state you're in But something's different now, a lesson has been learned I walked through fire and I walked through rain! I learned to love the goddamn growing pain! You were the bitter debt I had to repay! Cause I'm A-O-K, yeah I'm A-O-K! I'm A-O-K today! Hey there, kid, you can drop the act All your bridges burned, and that's a simple fact You screamed for freedom, you wanted to be forgiven But you can't get to heaven if you stay inside your prison. And I used to play the victim in your tragedy I used to think your chaos was a part of me But I struck a match and watched that chapter burn... I walked through fire and I walked through rain! I learned to love the goddamn growing pain! You were the bitter debt I had to repay! 'Cause I'm A-O-K, yeah, I'm A-O-K! I'm A-O-K today! And don't you think for a second I don't miss the sting? The beautiful disaster, the madness you would bring... But I traded all that drama for a little peace of mind And I'm not sorry for the girl I left behind! I walked through fire and I walked through rain! I learned to love the goddamn growing pain! You were the bitter debt I had to repay! 'Cause I'm A-O-K, yeah, I'm A-O-K! I'm A-O-K today! Yeah, I'm A-O-K... I said I'm A-O-K... (You can't drag me back) I'm A..O...K...
