Good Friend

She waits, he works, they live at night
Low pay, no way to stay polite
Too late to change their state of mind
Lights out, black on, too hard to find

Hops in his car, that's a bad blessin'
Long night ahead, now she's mad stressin'
Time's on their side, but they're still shakin'
Gun in their hands, money for the takin'

Then he feels her touch
It becomes all too much

Don't say goodbye
Say hello, to my good friend
See he's all I know
Run and hide
Ain't no show, this is a hold-up
Hope you just know that we steal to survive

She prays to change, they wisely would
How could something so bad fund their livelihood?
He knows it's tough, but it's for their good
Left them moles out to burn like it's firewood
And in their hard days have each other still
Moving through motions like they know the drill
So, when it comes to fate, they don't have a say
Growin' up with these roles that they have to play

Rent's late as hell, but they're side-steppin'
Hearts on their sleeves to conceal weapons
Break down the door, but nobody's wakin'
Head for the drawer, money for the takin'

Then he feels her touch
It becomes all too much

Don't say goodbye
Say hello, to my good friend
See he's all I know
Run and hide (yeah)
Ain't no show, this is a hold-up
Hope you just know that we steal to survive
Say hello, to my good friend
See he's all I know
Run and hide (yeah)
Ain't no show, this is a hold-up
Hope you just know that we steal to survive

But if this ends in ruin
It could have happened anywhere
Can't help but feeling human
Looked up at Wall Street millionaires
But if this ends in ruin
It could have happened anywhere
Can't help but feeling human
Looked up at Wall Street millionaires

Don't say goodbye
Say hello, to my good friend
See he's all I know
Run and hide (yeah)
Ain't no show, this is a hold-up
Hope you just know that we steal to survive
Say hello, to my good friend

Run and hide (yeah)
Ain't no show, this is a hold-up
