My Friends - Islander, Eric Vanlerberghe

They call me the bad guy!

And I’m not playing around

I tell it like is, once was lost now found

Tear my heart.

Ripped apart

Built for grimy sounds

And while you were asleep, I was making my rounds

They try to tell me what to say

And when to say it

It’s counterfeit, it’s plastic

And a game that I’m not playin'

Ughhhh!

I’m a conformed nonconformist

Wahhhh!

And my ruler is not my self

I’ll lay down my life for my friends (I'll lay my life down)

I’ll take the hit again and again (Again and again and again, and again)

I’ll lay my life down for my friends (For my friends)

I’ll take the hit again and again

It’s not pretend

I stay close to mines.

I work hard for my money

I’m not a perfect man, but gotta God that loves me

Oh, but now you can find me in the rolling stone

But that don’t mean jack give me my microphone

They try to tell me what to say

And when to say it

It’s counterfeit, it’s plastic

And a game that I’m not playin'

They don’t want none

They don’t want none

They don’t want none

They don’t want none!

They don’t want none

They don’t want none

They can’t pay my dues

They can’t wear my shoes

They don’t want none

They don’t want none

They shoulda kept their cool

They should have stayed in school

They don’t want none

They don’t want none

You can’t pay my dues

You can’t wear my shoes

They don’t want none

They don’t want none

You should have stayed in school

You should have stayed in…

Ughhhh!

School!

I’ll lay down my life for my friends (I'll lay my life down)

I’ll take the hit again and again (Again and again and again, and again)

I’ll lay my life down for my friends (For my friends)

I’ll take the hit again and again

It’s not pretend
