"They Ain't Your Friends" lyrics

"They Ain't Your Friends"

(They ain't your friends)
(They ain't your friends)

They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
I thought you'd know by now
They'll bleed you when you're up
Then leave you when you're down
They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
Got to get this in your head
The moments you're not hot
They'll all leave you for dead

(They ain't your friends)

Nobody want to know you
Nobody wanna care
People look right through you
People make you feel like you're not there
Disappear into the distance
Looking for a sure thing
Like vampire bats parasites diving in when the cash till rings
(They ain't your friends)
Just another wannabe come in from way way out of town
And you're a joke because you care
And you choke on the world as it drags you down
Suddenly you've got something
Everybody is your friend
Let the good times roll let em rock let em never never never end

They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
I thought you'd know by now
They'll bleed you when you're up
Then leave you when you're down
They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
Got to get this in your head
The moments you're not hot
They'll all leave you for dead

Fake friends up on Facebook
Fake friends on your phone
If you hit backspace hit erase do you think you'd ever really know?
(They ain't your friends)
Fake friends in the bathroom
Offer you cocaine
Stay clean cause they're testing your pee
And you want to get on that plane

I know, I know this should come as no surprise
But it's hard to see sometimes
When they're looking you in the eyes
Turning up and calling out your name

Spin you round and climb inside your brain

See the big fat rooster
Dollar signs in his eyes
(They ain't your friends)
See the big shot looter
Fingering his prize
(They ain't your friends)
See the posh kid hipster
Just trying to act all Street
(They ain't your friends)
See the hot new DJ
Yeah there's another fucker every week
(They ain't your friends)
See the girls at the party
So beautiful yet so cold
(They ain't your friends)
See the rats in the ship shout out
Should I stay or should I go!?
(They ain't your friends)
See the plastic nightmare
Can't smile, can't blink
(They ain't your friends)
See the fashion victim shout out
"Tell me how to think! "
(They ain't your friends)

(They ain't your friends)
(They ain't your friends)

They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
I thought you'd know by now
They'll bleed you when you're up
Then leave you when you're down
They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
Got to get this in your head
The moments you're not hot
They'll all leave you for dead
They ain't your friends, ain't your friends
I thought you'd know by now
They'll bleed you when you're up
Then leave you when you're down

(They ain't your friends)
