Life will never let you down Your friends will run you in the ground They won't let you live it down 'Cause they're jealous of your crown Yeah, they make me tired All the time you understood the things they say were for your good Well, not the things they do themselves They preach from books on dusty shelves I'm tired, tired Smiling faces along for the ride When hardships come they run and hide And then crawl back with swallowed pride So they can be older when inside They make me tired, Lord, Lord I'm so tired of being around people that don't know their ass from hole in the ground Smiling faces along for the ride When hardships come they run and hide Then crawl back with swallowed pride So they can be older when inside They make me tired, Lord, Lord They worry me, they worry me Tired of phonies, tired, Lord, Lord Tired of devilish people Tired, tired, Lord They worry me, they worry me
