Degenerates

My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars cheats and hypocrites
Not the type for saving
Why 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
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 saving
So they say
So they say
I get that look but then 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 costs
Sold all your empathy tell me what it costs
Character is who you are when no one's watching
My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars cheats and hypocrites
Not the type for saving
So they say
So they say
Like a moment of truth that you're trying to omit
Consequences retained for the judgment you give
When you finally find that you're the degenerate
It's gonna hit like a brick
Like it ain't hard enough simply being 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 saving
So they say
So they say
