Friends (So Called)

(album: Conscience - 1988)

A man needs to know
Who will shine the light for him
When his way is dark and dim
But he turned to them
They turned their backs on him
This is all I can remember him saying
I remember...

Where are all of my so called friends?
They don't hang around me anymore

Where are all of my so called friends?
They don't hang around me anymore

We used to run around together in the same circle
Now we each have a corner, and the circle's a square
Expectations, that I just could not fulfill
More was expected than one man could give
But I wanna know...

Where are all of my so called friends?
They don't hang around me anymore
I wanna know, where are all of my so called friends?
They don't hang around me anymore

Expectations, that I just could not fulfill
More was expected than one man could give
My woman, she moved away from here
I wonder if she ever really loved me
And if she ever cared
I wanna know...

Where are all of my so called friends?
They seem to want me around anymore
Where are all of my so called friends?
They seem to want me around anymore

I wanna know... Friends!
Yeah... Friends... Have turned their back on me
Friends...
I wanna know...

Yeah...
