Degenerates

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars cheats and hypocrites

Not the type for 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

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 for 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 he afford somethin' that I want

Like how can he afford somethin' that I want

Sold all your empathy tell me what it costs

Sold all your empathy tell me what it costs

Character is who you are when no one's watching

My friends are degenerates

But I'd never change them

Liars cheats and hypocrites

Not the type for 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 for saving

So they say

So they say
