The Smith Street Band - I Want Friends lyrics

I want friends who don't give a f** 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 f**ing meaningless Trivial and self-imposed, it'll k** 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 been free And we are born with every single thing 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 f**ing zest you saved your money You'd realise that there is nothing you need to buy Just be happy that you are able to survive All we are is bags of bones pushing against a self-imposed tide Just be content with staying alive Because it'll k** you if it can and trust me it wants to It's knockign at your door, telling you to get what you paid for Cause greed is glory and God is money Government is government; it's all so f**ing meaningless, let them cancel each other out We didn't need them then, we sure as hell don't need 'em now We were born kicking and screaming, filthy and free And that's how every other second of our lives deserves to be
