Listen to Your Friends
Declan Mckenna Lyrics

Don't call me out, 'cause I heard you scream
Please don't confront me since I overheard you yell

I don't wanna get out of bed for this again
I'm feeling lazy and don't want to face this situation once more

I won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream
I won't take up your time since it was a message from my dream

I don't believe you trusted me
I can't trust that you put faith in me

I bet you only listen to your friends
I'm guessing you only take advice from your friends

I'm talking like I can pretend
I'm trying to act as if I'm faking it

You tell me that I always have to go
You point out that I constantly leave

You tell me what I want to know
You reveal what I need to hear

And I'll feel better for it
It'll aid me in feeling good

I know sometimes it's hard for me to say
I'm aware that occasionally I struggle with verbalizing

I love you every other day
My affection for you fluctuates frequently

You pour my heart away
You exhaust my heart and emotions

And sometimes I'm scared of what they've done
Sometimes I'm afraid of the repercussions of their actions

So I look how far we've come
I evaluate how much progress we've made

You think you don't have to put up a fight, but you might as well
You believe there's no need to defend yourself, but it's worth a shot

So I tell you everything you won't admit
I disclose everything you refuse to acknowledge

Tell me you don't care one bit
Inform me that you don't care in the slightest

And I'll feel better for it
It'll aid me in feeling good

Look online
Search for information on the internet

Do ten minutes of research and in turn find
Research for ten minutes and eventually discover

The problem is poor kids who want holidays in term time
The issue is poor kids who desire vacations during school terms

The problem is poor kids who can't afford the train fare
The issue is poor kids who don't have enough money for train tickets

So we up the train fare and charge them for not paying the train fare
Thus, we increase the cost of train tickets and penalize them for not paying it

The problem is welfare
The issue is welfare programs

And the problem is free healthcare
And the problem is the provision of free medical care

'Cause it's unfair and if it's gone it's welfare
Since it's unjust, if it's eliminated, it'll be considered welfare

The problem is drugs
The issue is drug abuse

The problem is free love and free hugs
The issue is the promotion of free love and warm embraces

So stay in fear
Hence, remain paranoid

Do some drugs and stay here
Consume some narcotics and continue staying here

Well I said go on then!
Well, I authorized you to proceed onwards

But God bless the weatherman
Yet, may God bless the meteorologist

Who has gone out of business since the psychoactive substance ban
Who's no longer in business following the ban on psychoactive substances

The gateway has sent him back
The opening has compelled him to return

From bulk-buying NOS to selling crack
From buying NOS in large quantities to dealing crack cocaine

The problem rose and a rich man suggested it
The issue escalated and a wealthy person proposed a solution

Over his lunchtime snack
While he was having his midday meal

So we ban the produce and its a bit of a nuisance really
Subsequently, we prohibit the item, and it becomes an irksome matter

Please trust in me
Kindly place your faith in me

Please trust in me
Please trust in me
