Common Knowledge Lyrics - Artist : Conor Oberst
He's my friend but he's no friend to me
Ask him why and he'll tell you casually Washed up, bitter, broke and busted Backstabbed everyone he trusted Says he sees what no one else can see And if I had half his guts I'd want it To chase that fatalistic comet And die young in the dark - that's poetry But it was not to be It was not for me He's always sad but I've never seen him cry When he comes to sure he'll apologize Find his car assess the damage Still drunk but he likes a challenge Holds onto his mind just like a kite But a good strong wind will keep you honest Fill you with some common knowledge Things when we were young we never tried Just figured we had time with such a long life Money clips and alligator shoes One more dance and he's in that champagne room Where she moves like a chocolate fountain Pouring, spilling all around him Makes him wonder what else she could do How bittersweet is love's illusion Feelings that cannot be proven Trust me you'll see my aim is true I did this all for you I've suffered long for you So many times he tried to play it straight Worked and worked until his body ached But a brand new life can lose its luster Troubles tend to find each other Call it luck or you can call it fate But either way it's how it happened Not the life that you imagined So just go out with a bang like Hemingway Some will say you're brave Some will say you ain't |
