So Called Friend

[Verse 1]

Never again

Your so-called friend

Will leave you sick and dry

This friend has a name

Knows the gutter and shame

This so-called friend of you and I

[Verse 2]

Oh, great soul

The long-term goals

Are to leave this friend behind

He knows what I lack

Is a place under the sack

For every other tie that binds

[Chorus]

This last night on the town

Might be your last above ground

And you think to yourself

There must be a better way

Than the same routine

For more than once, you pay

More than once, you pay

[Verse 3]

Butt full of lead

Stuck in your web

Held captive by the stream

The thoughts in your head

They made a nice bed

And you still had time to dream

[Chorus]

This last night on the town

Might be your last above ground

And you smile at things

And wave goodbye

More excuses to never even try

As you wave goodbye

[Verse 4]

Forget what I said

Your friend's not dead

He's only gone for a while

Come back to that crack

Between what's white and what's black

And give you one last smile

[Chorus]

This last night on the town

Might be your last above ground

And you think to yourself

There must be a better way

Than the same routine

For more than once, you pay

More than once, you pay
