I need a friend who’s got nothing but triggers I need a friend with a taste for tears I need a friend who can call his mother (once in a while) I need a friend with something to fear I need a friend to invite me to parties I need a friend who’d rather coke than beer I need a friend to start a new religion I need a friend who can last the year I need a friend with a boat collection I need a friend who gets serious I need a friend who can afford to stare straight at the sun I need a friend with experience I need a friend with a lot of money I need a friend who likes to play the field I need a friend with a scary husband I need a friend who keeps their big mouth sealed I need a friend who can take me bowling I need a friend who wears 6 inch heels I need a friend to get me out of the house here (once in awhile) I need a friend who’s got nothing to steal I need a friend to ask a lot of questions I need a friend with an axe to grind I need a friend with a wife and children I need a friend that’s so hard to find

You’re beautiful And built to win Your glossy hair and flawless skin You’re beautiful Won’t take it back No bleeding gums No yellow plaque You’re beautiful At any price No worms or fleas No ticks or lice You’re beautiful So much to please Your muscle tone No skin disease Please stand by me Take my money Arch back slightly And give me a smile There are many words To express the things you are You surpass the competition Let’s get you in my car

I’m the best In this world At telling no one I’m the best You don’t know what you know about me All hail my kingdom Get your hand off my shadow I’m the best You could get Without notice Work on spec I’m the best ain’t nothin’ gonna change me Don’t hate on my freedom No more plans for my Sunday No one needs to spit on my weekend no When this world falls Cry me a river There’s no one left who can hold your hand or guide you through I’ll watch the world crawl And cry me a river And I’ll laugh and I’ll laugh and I’ll laugh Until they know it’s true Maybe the world turns Maybe the world burn Maybe you’ll all learn to deal with the facts That I’m telling you It’s all just one small thing And it’s just one bad choice And it’s all just a matter of time til party goes babybabybaby come on I’m the best Just keep saying I’m the best Maybe it’s true I’m the best I don’t hear what they say about me All hail my wisdom Some fuck took my post down Oh I’m so right baby Don’t even need to win When you’re so right baby Everything’s a sin Oh I’m so right baby Don’t even need to say Oh I’m so right baby Don’t even need to pay

So long ago it all worked out for you When the war was a stone in your hand Line em’ up in the darkness don’t wait around for me Set em’ up boys then knock em’ down for me Don’t be afraid of the darkness don’t wait around for me Set em’ up boys then knock em’ down for me It’s my only it’s my own

I got my realness on I took a ride took a ride took a ride to where my heart has gone Where my sweet love flickers in the dust in her uniform I turned the camera on Speak aloud speak aloud speak aloud til the words have flown You make a loud noise screamin’ at the world until your voice is blown Even if you standing in the middle of the woods when you’re all alone Ooooo you make alive again Ooooo I’m somehow alive again Even if the air turns to cinder and bone You’re my place in the world that will always be home And you’re all and you’re all my home And you’re all and you’re all my home How the years go by Like a bird like a bird like a bird falling from the sky We can dance we can dance we can dance until we don’t know why Maybe you don’t mind How a stupid man screaming at the world can waste all your time You can take a walk take a walk take a walk if you’re so inclined I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t turn around or you change your mind Oooo but you turn around again Ooooo and I’m somehow alive again Even if the sun turns to ashes and stone You’re my place in the world will always be home And you’re all and you’re all my home And you’re all and you’re all my home

Only in this town They get passed around It’s a lovely day But I can’t eat anything Everybody says I need another round It was a lovely day But now I'm sore above my waist

Stand on the edge Don’t you sway either way It’s a long long long way down Just stay on the phone Glad we caught you at home Don’t you dare take your hand from your mouth Grab those coins in yer fist Write your name on the list Don’t you try to resist there’s no doubt We will find you anywhere If there’s sunlight in your hair Then the eyes in the sky have you down I’m so glad we’ve agreed The only way you can succeed Is when your hand is in hand that holds you down And love will conquer all Find your hole in the wall There’s no way we’ll ever fall from the edge And all is love

A#_____F Tell me why Edim___________F You let me stick around Bm_________C______________G Wasting in disgrace ‘til I’m underground Someday I will try to get the nerve To be some kind of man that you deserve But Late at night I’m up to see sun Tryin to keep the fire ablaze til the smoke is gone C#_______________________G Ya can’t take your hand off the wheel C#__________________G I Won’t reneged on the deal And when I stare At the vacant cold abyss I need a second hand to pull me away from this Someday I Will find myself alone Watching everything neglected boil in acetone Do I need to pull you by the arm Can’t keep your own self out of harm A#_____________________Dm Stuff all that bullshit in your grave ________________C#____________________D She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man Don't trust a word out of your brain She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man 50 grams of protein everyday She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man Turn off the phone don’t be a slave She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man Read a fucking book you fucking pleb She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man Take your fucking pills every fucking day She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
