Collaborations Don't Work Lyrics - Ffs - Ffs

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

Mozart didn't need a little hack to chart 

Warhol didn't need to ask De Kooning about art 

Frank Lloyd Wright always ate à la carte 

Wish I had been that smart 

Wish I had been that smart 

Collaborations don't work 

You start off deferential 

And strangely reverential 

You both feel it's essential 

Collaborations don't work 

He's eyeing your new lover 

Then one night you discover 

Them underneath your covers 

Collaborations don't work 

Delaying your vacations 

To sundrenched island nations 

To seek some affirmations 

Collaborations don't work 

A colon or a comm 

And then a drawn-out drama 

Bring in the Dalai Lama 

Where is this damn thing a-goin'? 

Where is this going, someone tell me 

Starlight, rub off on me 

Star bright, rub off on me 

Where is this damn thing a-goin'? 

Where is this going, someone tell me 

Starlight, rub off on me 

Star bright, rub off on me 

I don't need your patronizing 

I don't need your agonizing 

I don't need your navel gazing 

I don't get your way of phrasing 

I don't think you're really trying 

What, pray tell, are you implying? 

I ain't no collaborator 

I am the partisan 

Rebel in the rocks with dirty trousers, broken pistol in the hand 

I ain't no collaborator 

Hack my scalp if you think I am 

I am a sadistic young usurper, a hand on your neck 

Hand on your lover, oh, give the man a hand 

I ain't no collaborator 

I ain't no collaborator 

I am the master, independent 

If I ever need a father, it won't be you, old man 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

Collaborations don't work 

They don't work, they don't work 

I'm gonna do it all by myself 

I'm gonna do it all by myself
