My Friends

(album: It's Not Easy Being Human - 2022)

Yeahhh!

They call me the bad guy!
And I'm not playing around
I tell it like is, once was lost now found
Tear my heart. Ripped apart
Built for grimy sounds
And while you were asleep, I was making my rounds

They try to tell me what to say
And when to say it
It's counterfeit, it's plastic
And a game that I'm not playing

Ughhhh!
I'm a conformed nonconformist
Wahhhh!
And my ruler is not my self

I'll lay down my life for my friends (I'll lay my life down)
I'll take the hit again and again (Again and again and again, and again)
I'll lay my life down for my friends (For my friends)
I'll take the hit again and again
It's not pretend

I stay close to mines. I work hard for my money
I'm not a perfect man, but gotta God that loves me
Oh, but now you can find me in the rolling stone
But that don't mean jack give me my microphone

They try to tell me what to say
And when to say it
It's counterfeit, it's plastic
And a game that I'm not playing

They don't want none
They don't want none
They don't want none
They don't want none!

They don't want none
They don't want none
They can't pay my dues
They can't wear my shoes
They don't want none
They don't want none
They shoulda kept their cool
They should have stayed in school

They don't want none
They don't want none
You can't pay my dues
You can't wear my shoes
They don't want none
They don't want none
You should have stayed in school
You should have stayed in...
Ughhhh!
School!

I'll lay down my life for my friends (I'll lay my life down)
I'll take the hit again and again (Again and again and again, and again)
I'll lay my life down for my friends (For my friends)
I'll take the hit again and again
It's not pretend
