Degenerates

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars, cheats and hypocrites

Not the type for savin'

Why do we tend to hurt one another?

Dividin' up all the books by the covers

Like it ain't hard enough simply bein' me

(Like it ain't hard enough simply bein' me)

Or could I sum you up just by what I see?

(Or could I sum you up just by what I see?)

In reality, everyone's a lot more complicated

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars, cheats and hypocrites

Not the type for savin'

Or so they say

So they say

I get that look more then I remember

Turnin' 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 cost

(Sold all your empathy, tell me what it cost)

Character is who you are when no one's watchin'

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars, cheats and hypocrites

Not the type for savin'

Or so they say

So they say

Like a moment of truth that you try to omit

Consequences retained for the judgment ya 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 savin'

Or so they say

So they say
