With friends like you, who needs enemies?
You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be
You're out of the car; I'm afraid you've been declined
You shake my hand while you're pissing on my leg
I'm cuttin' you loose; I don't need this misery
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine

You talk real trash when I'm not around
To build yourself up, you gotta to tear me down
You'll have to excuse me; I've got better things to do
You smile through your teeth, you talk out your neck
Every chance you get you're gonna stab my back
Your time's run out; I've got nothing left for you

[Chorus:]
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
Stop wasting all of my time
I'm leaving you far behind

So I'm pulling out the weeds, I'm taking stock
You can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk
Your narcissistic ways have gotten the best of you
So I'm leaving you to sink in all your glory
For you and me it's the end of the story
Get out of my way; I've got better things to do

[Chorus x 3]

With friends like you, who needs enemies?
It means you ain't right, you ain't never going...
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine

    How about some correct lyrics?

    With friends like you, who needs enemies? You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be You're out of the car, I'm afraid you've been declined. You shake my hand, while you're pissing on my leg I'm cutting you loose, I don't need this misery Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine. NO!!!

    You talk real trash, when I'm not around To build yourself up, you gotta tear me down. You'll have to excuse me, I got better things to do You smile through your teeth, you talk out you're neck Every chance you get, you're going to stab my back Your time's run out, I've got nothing left for you.

    [Chorus:] I'm leaving you far behind I'm leaving you far behind Stop wasting all, all my time I'm leaving you far behind, Yeah!!!

    So I'm pulling out the weeds, I'm taking stock You can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk Your narcissistic ways have gotten the best of you So I'm leaving you to sink in all your glory For you and me it's the end of the story Get out of my way, I've got better things to do.

    [Chorus x3]

    With friends like you, who needs enemies? You ain't right, you ain't never going to be Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
