"I Ain't Got None Of My Friends Left" lyrics

"I Ain't Got None Of My Friends Left"

Will all promises be kept
Will we all be better off
I get the notion we won't know
Until the ketamine wears off
I looked up and to my left
And saw the canopy of grief
I do not need to be unburdened
I just need someone to lead

And if it looks a bit familiar
Like it did the other time
They say that history don't repeat itself
No, history just rhymes

The river's deep
The river's wide
And there ain't no way across is
'Cept to swim or sink and die
The way is long
The path is mean
I ain't got none of my friends left
They all vanished in the stream
I ain't got none of my friends left
They all vanished in the stream

When the black hat with his chainsaw
Picked a child from his litter
To remind us he's a man
I'll admit I did feel bitter
And I wondered if the jester knew
That he's in on the joke
Some folks don't ask what's in the wagon
They just grin and bear the yoke

And if it looks a bit familiar
Like it did the other time
They say that history don't repeat itself
No, history just rhymes

The river's deep
The river's wide
And there ain't no way across is
'Cept to swim or sink and die
The way is long
The path is mean
I ain't got none of my friends left
They all vanished in the stream
I ain't got none of my friends left
They all vanished in the stream

When they pave over the bodies
And democratize the stones
I will leave a yelp review
In the valley of the bones
When the thirsty have their blood
And all the people souls departed
They can raise the holy swollen
Golden Temple of the arches

And if it looks a bit familiar
Like it did the other time
They say that history don't repeat itself
No, history just rhymes
No, history just rhymes

The river's deep
The river's wide
And there ain't no way across is
'Cept to swim or sink and die
The way is long
The path is mean
I ain't got none of my friends left
They all vanished in the stream
I ain't got none of my friends left
They all vanished in the stream
