I Want Friends

Lyrics

I want friends who don't give a fuck again
 I'm gonna do all of the things I said I'd do when I was a kid
 Exist between the margins, not between the lines
 Getting my hands dirty, not living life romanticised
 I see people that I love melting into mortgages
 And low interest bank loans, income tax percentages
 And it's all so fucking meaningless
 Trivial and self-imposed
 It'll kill you if it can, and it wants to
 It's knocking at your door
 Telling you to get what you paid for
 And I know talk may be cheap
 But living has always, always been free
 And we are born with every single thing
 We could ever need
 And I know talk may be cheap
 But living has always, always been free
 And we are born with every single thing
 We could ever need
 We could ever need
 You can't love anything before and after nine to five
 The only thing you cannot buy is time
 And if you saved it with half the fucking zest you saved your money
 You'd realise there is nothing you need to buy
 Just be happy that you were able to survive
 All we are is bags of bones
 Pushing against a self-imposed tide
 Just be content with staying alive
 Cause it'll kill you if it can
 And trust me it wants to
 It's knocking at your door
 Telling you to get what you paid for
 And I know talk may be cheap
 But living has always, always been free
 And we are born with every single thing
 We could ever need
 And I know talk may be cheap
 But living has always, always been free
 And we are born with every single thing
 We could ever need
 We could ever need
 Greed is glory and God is money
 Government is government, it's all so fucking meaningless
 Let them cancel each other out
 We didn't need them then
 We sure as hell don't need them now
 We were born kicking and screaming
 Filthy and free
 And that's how every other second
 Of our lives deserves to be
