LYRICS

The odds have built up on the chance you're going down

Cause you're looking pretty guilty in the court of the crown

My Friend's getting eager to complete this mission

Better all around just to sign the confession

Doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty as hell

Friend's got a feeling that you're feeling unwell

Who cares about the truth when the truth's there to bend

Do as I say, I'm you're only friend

The wicked stepfather that took a step farther

Played the patron saint in his shining armour

With his sword of power, shield to protect you,

Tounge hanging out, going to get you,

You know I want to hug you, know I want kiss you

Dear old pop and you know I really miss you,

In the pantomime of life, he's behind you,

Says no I'm here to remind you

CHORUS:

Best friend I'm all that you got

(Pretend) best friend if you like it or not

(Pretend) best friend so don't talk to them

(Pretend) you gotta talk to me cause I'm your best friend

Call yourself a friend, that drives me round the bend

You call me when you like

And call me what you like

Was it the father or the son or the holy ghost

Or the butler in the kitchen or the game show host

Policeman on the corner, show you the way,

Geezer with the beard comes on xmas day

Your mother or your father or your sister or your brother,

Doesn't matter who it is thet'll say there ain't no other

Might never see 'em or you se 'em every day,

Who gives a damn when you hear them say...

(CHORUS)
