My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type for savingWhy do we tend to hurt one another?
Dividing up all the books by the covers
Like it ain't hard enough simply being me
(Like it ain't hard enough simply being me)
Or could I sum you up just by what I see?In reality, everyone's a lot more complicatedMy friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type for saving
So they say
So they sayI get that look, more than I remember
Turning your nose up while we're at dinner
Like how can he afford somethin' that I want?
(Like how can he afford somethin' that I want?)
Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costCharacter is who you are when no one's watchingMy friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type for savingSo they say
So they sayLike a moment of truth that you try to omit
Consequences retained for the judgement you give
When you finally find you're the degenerate
It's gonna hit like a brick
Like it ain't hard enough simply bein' me
Or could I sum you up just by what I see?My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type for savingSo they say
So they say
