Make Friends With People Who Want the Best for You Songtext
If you have a friend
And you tell them bad news
They are actually sad
And you can tell them
They will listen
You know they′ll listen
They'll take the damn pain
And they won′t tell you about some worst thing
That happened to them
Defensively, say
Or they won't secretly be happy
That you got knocked off your pedestal
They'll listen
And then the other thing is if you have a friend
And something good happens to you
They′re happy
Like you have an ethical responsibility to take care of yourself
You have an ethical responsibility to surround yourself with people
Who have the courage
And
Faith
And
Wisdom
To wish you well when you′ve done something good
And to stop you
When you're doing something destructive
And if your friends aren′t like that
Then they're not your friends
Make friends with people who want the best for you
Make friends with people who want the best for you
People don′t exactly understand that
It's okay morally
To choose people
That are trying to help
You
Be better
And to
Shy away from people who
Are going to drag you down
Two drowned people
Is not an improvement over one
Make friends with people who want the best for you
Make friends with people who want the best for you
You′re not morally obliged to go down with someone else's ship
Now you think that's pretty harsh
And pretty rude
You can′t abandon a friend in need
That′s not what I'm saying
I′m saying that
It is appropriate for you to look at your social
Surround
And to make decisions
You have a person who's hurting you
And who won′t quit
And he's pulling you down
That is not necessary
Make friends with people who want the best for you
You go with people who are trying to elevate you
Make friends with people who want the best for you
You are not obligated to associate with people who
Are making your life worse
Make friends with people who want the best for you
You′re obligated not to associate with people who are trying to
Damage the structure of being
Your being
The family being
Social being
All of that
Like no
Wrong
Move away
And you tell them bad news
They are actually sad
And you can tell them
They will listen
You know they′ll listen
They'll take the damn pain
And they won′t tell you about some worst thing
That happened to them
Defensively, say
Or they won't secretly be happy
That you got knocked off your pedestal
They'll listen
And then the other thing is if you have a friend
And something good happens to you
They′re happy
Like you have an ethical responsibility to take care of yourself
You have an ethical responsibility to surround yourself with people
Who have the courage
And
Faith
And
Wisdom
To wish you well when you′ve done something good
And to stop you
When you're doing something destructive
And if your friends aren′t like that
Then they're not your friends
Make friends with people who want the best for you
Make friends with people who want the best for you
People don′t exactly understand that
It's okay morally
To choose people
That are trying to help
You
Be better
And to
Shy away from people who
Are going to drag you down
Two drowned people
Is not an improvement over one
Make friends with people who want the best for you
Make friends with people who want the best for you
You′re not morally obliged to go down with someone else's ship
Now you think that's pretty harsh

That′s not what I'm saying

You′re obligated not to associate with people who are trying to
Damage the structure of being

The family being
Social being
All of that
Like no
