There's bills to be paid and food to be bought But the money in your bank account always seems to be short How in this world can you for yourself fend Oh, it'll be alright because along comes your friend
And your friend gives you some money to help make ends meet This friend of yours, well he's quite hard to beat Just when you think you'll go under for sure This friend comes along with money galore
But what you don't realise is things aren't as they seem This friend comes from a nightmare, not from a dream Because before this friend gives you even one cent He's taken money from your account which was for the rent
Sure, he seems like he's always giving something to you But he takes first in secret and then gives you a few This friend that I mention, did you guess, he's the cigarette A friend who takes in secret will always keep you in debt
