Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, is that me?
Hey
[Verse 2]
I wanted to have some friends
But not a lot of people wanted to be my friend
Couple of nerds, maybe
But nerds have trouble being friends
'Cause they're too stocked up
I mean they can play games with you
But uh, after that, they get a kind of, blank stare
So I found these guys that, uh, they didn't have any other friends
And they weren't very demanding
And we could do things together like
Smoke dope, take LSD, try to get girls
(Oh, memories)
And dream about playing some music and uh
Just being comfortable all the time and never working
Never-never working
This went along pretty well for awhile but (Oh, oh)
Friends need to be demanding
People need to be demanding
I started becoming demanding and I, uh, lost my friends
And they couldn't stand anybody being demanding (Memories)
As a demanding person, I got somewhere in life
I started having girlfriends
I was very demanding of them
But I didn't let them be demanding of me
I started making big friends, friends who could help me
Ooh, those friends were really demanding
You don't get a warm or fuzzy feeling
But you get what you gotta have to get along (Oh, memories)
I mean that's show biz (Space)
I'm getting a little older now and (Give me)
I start to think about (Space)
The friends that are gonna think of me when I move along
There are one or two of them that are gonna have a grin
And a good memory of me
They're not the best, fanciest people
Not even very good people, frankly
Their big claim to fame is they're my friends
Useless, expensive, maddening, pain in the ass friends
(Or maybe get mad, haha)
(Space)
