Make Art Not Friends

Lookin' out the window At a world on fire Flames see the end is near Seen all the sights Tired of the lights So you can let me off right here This town's getting crowded Truth's been shrouded Think it's time to change up the sound Yeah, the wheels keep turning The flames get higher Another cycle rolls around Face in the mirror's all skin and bone Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone Never again, I'd rather be alone Think I'm gonna just stay home And make art, not friends I love saying "No" to all the "Yes" men Just to see the look on their face I love how everybody knows what's best But nobody knows their place Sucker every second, stack 'em up to the sky For every winner there's a hundred that die So you get yours, stay out of mine Here's to the memories, where do I sign? Face in the mirror's all skin and bone Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone Never again, I'd rather be alone Think I'm gonna just stay home And make art, not friends Oh it's getting hard to find a good friend So close the door behind you Falling when more come in Nobody writes, nobody calls Nobody bother 'cause I'm over it all Face in the mirror's all skin and bone Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone Never again, I'd rather be alone Think I'm gonna just stay home Think about my friends --- Make Art Not Friends - Sturgill Simpson
