  • I've got a friend
    He's a pure bred killing machine.

    He said he's waited his whole damn life for this

    I knew him well when he was 17, now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas
    And

    [Bridge]
    So, everybody's gone to war
    But we don't know what we're fighting for,

    Don't tell me it's a worthy
    Cause no cause could be so worthy

    [Chorus]
    If love is a drug I guess we're all sober,
    If hope is a song I guess it's all over,
    How to have faith when faith is a crime,
    I don't want to die

    [Chorus 2]
    If God's on our side then God is a joker,
    Asleep on the job his children fall over,
    Running out through the door and straight to the sky,
    I don't want to die.

    For every man who wants to rule the world,
    There'll be a man who just wants to be free,
    What do we learn but what should not be learned,
    Too late to find the cure for this disease

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus 1+2]

    I, I-I, I

    I, I-I, I
    Don't want to die

    I-I don't want to die

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus 1+2]

    I, I-I, I
    I, I-I, I
    Don't want to die

    I-I don't want to die

    I've got a friend, he's a pure bred killing machine,
    I think he might be dead by
    Christmas. Writer/s: Nerina Pallot
