Lyrics

The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The words are so familiar

All the same greats, the same mistakes

It doesn't have to be like this.

If you don't make a friend, now

One might make you

So learn

The gentle art of making enemies

Don't look so surprised

Happy birthday... f**ker

Blow that candle out,

We're gonna kick you

(don't say you're not because you are)

(don't say you're not because you are)

(history tells us that you are)

(history tells us that you are)

All you need is just one more excuse

You put up one hell of a fight

I wanna hear your very best excuse

Never felt this much alive

Your day has finally come

So wear the hat and do the dance

And let the suit keep wearing you.

This year you'll sit and take it

And you will like it

It's the gentle art of making enemies

I deserve a reward

Cuz i'm the best f**k that you ever had

And if i tighten up my hole

You may never see the light again

(there's always an easy way out)

(there's always an easy way out)

(you need something wet in your mouth)

(you need something wet in your mouth)

Never felt this much alive
