Friend To The Friendless Lyrics - The World / Inferno Friendship Society

I'm not above drinking alone 

but no good ever comes of it, 

unless you count me talking to you now 

So, have you been hurt? 

Did you hurt someone? 

Did you get all crashed down upon? 

Me, I'm a friend to the friendless 

not that I chose it and if I had 

well then who knows? 

But that one guy on the train 

all talking to himself 

Shit, he was talking to me 

He said 

"At school they taught me a prayer for money, 

a prayer for crap jobs right till I die 

never a prayer for my people, the brokenhearted 

the lonely" 

Did you let the blues make you bad 

Did you get all twisted? 

Did you get so drunk you whispered 

"I think I'm gonna die?" 

Did you pass nights wondering why you never saw it coming? 

Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all 

I'm a friend to the friendless and I don't care 

If I had a choice in this it wouldn't be fair 

but I don't so let's not get all carried away 

with shit you wouldn't change anyway 

let's make this a prayer for money 

a prayer for Sundays through Mondays 

and crap jobs right til I die. 

Because where we are we won't always be 

and shit man that could be me 

getting hurt, hurting someone 

getting all crashed down upon 

burning holes in butterfly's wings 

while wishing just wishing for other things 

Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all 

Nobody ever sees it coming, are you ready for this? 

Never wear white socks with black shoes 

Don't get all twisted 

Don't let the blues make you bad 

I know you miss him 

Don't let your standards fall down with your hair 

How it felt when you kissed her 

Straighten your tie, tuck in your shirt 

I'm a friend to the friendless 

And I don't know why but come on kids, please, 

we'll walk right on by 

I know you are lonely, you'll always be 

You are so many things you will not always be.
