Everybody's Friend Lyrics
Hey man where did you go?
Thought I, but I guess
I don't know you
Gave you my heart
You looked to take it apart
Hey man what did you do?
Walked away we weren't through
Last time was a fake shaken head
Now I think it must be said
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Man of peace
Man of war
Tell me who knows more?
People gathering by the well
I think we could meet up again
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Ain't no way man
To be everybody's friend
Thought I, but I guess
I don't know you
Gave you my heart
You looked to take it apart
Hey man what did you do?
Walked away we weren't through
Last time was a fake shaken head
Now I think it must be said
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Man of war
Tell me who knows more?
People gathering by the well
I think we could meet up again
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Can't be everybody's friend
Ain't no way man
To be everybody's friend

the whole of the strays album is, unlike their old ones, about fame. this is no different. i dont know the official translation but i think its about how everyone loves him because hes famous and they shouldnt
I think it's about an old friend drifting away because they're too busy trying to please everyone.
I always thought it was a jab at Eric Avery, but what do I know. Great song either way. Strays is not classic Jane's, but it's a solid album for sure!
