The Smith Street Band – 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 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 fucking 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 kill 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 fucking 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
