So Many Dynamos — Friendarmy lyrics

Lyrics

We don’t make friends, we don’t need them
We killed our families and they will not be missed
We don’t make friends, we build armies.1
We make rations and make rash decisions
You think you’re clever you’re wrong
You’ve got a lot to learn about coming off too strong
Tell me everything you know about breaking a window
Tell me everything you know about cracking a safe code
Tell me everything you know about siren crescendos
Tell me everything you know about being a scapegoat
Metal’s colder when it’s pressed 2
Against your temple, so keep it simple, boy
Every motion is chilling through your
Nervous body, don’t make me prove my point
You think we’re kidding, we’re not
We’re only playing but we’re playing God
We tried to warn them but they never listened
We tried to sing it but the melody drifts
And these birds in our mouths are the gifts they don’t understand
Tell me everything you know about breaking a window
Tell me everything you know about cracking a safe code
Tell me everything you know about siren crescendos
Tell me everything you know about being a scapegoat
