Last Time I Checked

[Verse 1]
I watched the news this morning for the first time in ages
It’s not that I’d forgotten I just thought my time's being wasted
On propaganda, if I can I’d
Rather use my time
To stress that’s not everything’s as it seems on the frontline

They talk about the tragedies in the USA
Shed no light on non-english speaking countries that’s a shame
Sends a pain to my heart
When the ignorance is sparked
We blame society
But we’re society
Since the last time I checked..

[Chorus]
Seems like it won’t end
Since the last time I checked
I don’t have as many friends

[Verse 2]
My black friend says “Hey nigga!” to his black friend
But if a white man says it to him it’ll cause offence
Offensive in one way’s offensive in all
He tries to justify it that’s his downfall

My girl friend says “Hey bitch!” to her girl friend
But if a man says it to her it’ll cause offence
Offensive in one way’s offensive in all
She tries to justify it that’s her downfall
Since the last time I checked..

[Chorus]
Seems like it won’t end
Since the last time I checked
I don’t have as many friends
I want too many friends
I don’t have as many
I don’t need as many
I don’t want too many friends
