Degenerates Songtext
von A Day to Remember

My friends are degenerates
But I′d never change them
Liars, cheats and hypocrites
Not the type for savin'

Why do we tend to hurt one another?
Dividin′ up all the books by the covers
Like it ain't hard enough simply bein' me
(Like it ain′t hard enough simply bein′ me)
Or could I sum you up just by what I see?
(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 for savin'

Or so they say
So they say


I get that look more then I remember
Turnin′ your nose up while we're at dinner
Like how can he afford somethin′ that I want?
(Like how can he afford somethin' that I want?)
Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costs
(Sold all your empathy, tell me what it costs)

Character is who you are when no one's watchin′

My friends are degenerates
But I′d never change them
Liars, cheats and hypocrites
Not the type for savin'

Or so they say
So they say

Like a moment of truth that you′re trying to omit
Consequences retained for the judgment ya give
When you finally find you're the degenerate
It′s gonna hit like a brick!

Like it ain't hard enough simply bein′ 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 for savin'

Or so they say
So they say
