I Want Friends - The Smith Street Band

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, always been free

And we are born with every single thing

We could ever need

And I know talk may be cheap

But living has always, always been free

And we are born with every single thing

We could ever need

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 there is nothing you need to buy

Just be happy that you were able to survive

All we are is bags of bones

Pushing against a self-imposed tide

Just be content with staying alive

Cause it’ll kill you if it can

And trust me 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, always been free

And we are born with every single thing

We could ever need

And I know talk may be cheap

But living has always, always been free

And we are born with every single thing

We could ever need

We could ever need

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 them now

We were born kicking and screaming

Filthy and free

And that’s how every other second

Of our lives deserves to be
