Our Friend

Our Friend

Ever so often you go talking
Talking to anyone walking along
Who will listen now
And on your face you wear the look
The look of hate you couldn’t learn from a book
And hook, line, sinker
They are hooked

A smirk of stupidity
Disguises somehow insipidity
And you kiss the babies
Leaves them smiling
Go tell the family
He’s really our friend
The world could come to an end
But we’ll be here
He’s really our friend

Oh god damn, what a lie we live
Oh no, we drown in it
But he’s a friend
A true blue friend

Nuclear fall-out
End of life possibilities
Sacrifice
Become our vice
Oh, it’s taking a life
But we’ll be here
My friend makes it clear
Superiority you see
Jesus selected me
From sea to shining sea

And hook, line, sinker…

The world could come to an end
But we’ll be here
He’s really our friend
