THE WORLD/INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY LYRICS

"Friend To The Friendless"

I'm not above drinking alone,
but no good ever comes of it
unless you count me talking to you now.
So, have you been hurt?
Did you hurt someone?
Did you get all crashed down upon?
Me, I'm a friend to the friendless,
not that I chose it. And if I had,
well, then who knows?
But that one guy on the train,
all talking to himself.
Shit, he's talking to me.
He's saying,
"At school, they taught me a prayer for money,
a prayer for crap jobs right 'til I die,
never a prayer for people, the brokenhearted,
the lonely."

Did you let the blues make you bad?
Did you get all twisted?
Did you get so drunk you whispered,
"I think I'm gonna die"?
Did you pass nights wondering why you never saw it coming?
Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all.
Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all.
I'm a friend to the friendless, and I don't care.
If I had a choice in this, it wouldn't be fair.
But I don't, so let's not get all carried away
with shit you wouldn't change anyway.
Let's make this a prayer for money,
a prayer for Sundays through Mondays
and crap jobs right 'til I die.
Because where we are, we won't always be,
and shit, man, that could be me.
Getting hurt, hurting someone,
getting all crashed down upon,
burning holes in butterfly's wings
while wishing, just wishing for other things.
Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all.
Nobody ever sees it coming. Are you ready for this?
Never wear white socks with black shoes.
Don't get all twisted.
Don't let the blues make you bad.
I know you miss him.
Don't let your standards fall down with your hair.
How it felt when you kissed her.
Straighten your tie; tuck in your shirt.
I'm a friend to the friendless.
And I don't know why ,but come on kids, please,
we'll walk right on by.
I know you are lonely, you'll not always be.
You are so many things you will not always be.
