Degenerates

My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type worth saving
Why do we tend to hurt one another?
Dividing up all the books by the covers
Like it ain't hard enough simply being me
(Like it ain't hard enough simply being me)
Or could I sum you up just by what I see?
In reality, everyone's a lot more complicated
My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type worth saving
So they say
So they say
I get that look, but then I remember
Turning your nose up while we're at dinner
Like how can even something that I want?
(Like how can even something that I want?)
Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costs
(Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costs)
Character is what you are when no one's watching
My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type worth saving
So they say
So they say
Like a moment of truth that you're trying to omit
Consequences retained for the judgment you give
When you finally find that you're the degenerate
It's gonna hit like a brick!
Like it ain't hard enough simply being me
Or could I sum you up just by what I see?
My friends are degenerates
But I'd never change them
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Not the type worth saving
So they say
So they say
