Degenerates

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars, cheats, and hypocrites

Not the type worth 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?

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 worth 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 even something that I want?

(Like how can even something that I want?)

Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costs

(Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costs)

Character is what you are when no one's watching

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars, cheats, and hypocrites

Not the type worth 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 worth saving

So they say
