I want a friend like you
one who gets to do those things you do
I wanna screw them too,
but only after you
I wanna schmooze them too
we can bet on who blacks out by 2
Thinking we can blow our stash and drink our cash
we're trust fund brats who give it back
Sluts, clubs, and bars
they only wanna drain who you are
When you can be of use
A fool, to lose
I know it's not the truth
But damn I'm thinking that I
still want a friend like you
one who won't show up without "plus 2"
And I'll learn to judge who's who
by what they offer you
We'll comb the night in packs
desperate for at least a one time pass
Where maybe I can twirl around and twist and shout
I want the cool you're giving out
Sluts, clubs, and bars
they only wanna drain who you are
When you can be of use
A fool, to lose
I know its not the truth
But damn it's close enough for you
