Every day's inspiration to further my cause Hence the cause to all my problems You're the chief accessory in this I vouch to make another sandwich Minutes lost in a clock that's torn by the seams The rest is leaking out my pockets Small creatures springing out from the bed I get the notion that they're friendly We don't need no friends We're doing all right They will never understand Why I'm keeping you around (So how you feeling? Alright) Objects scatter all over the floor Such an intricate collection Notebook of scripture like a parade It's full of little flying numbers A man said sharply take this all away This sh** is causing new distractions A lesson here, boy, if you listen to him He's going to get you into trouble Hey, the doctor knows what's best for me He's going to save me from myself We don't need no friends We're doing all right They will never understand Why I'm keeping you around We don't need no friends We're doing all right They will never understand Why I'm keeping you around The radio's busted, non-operational Felt this way for years And there's nothing you can do That's going to change my mind The radio's busted, non-operational I've felt this way for years And there's nothing you can do That's going to change me Hey, I know I know what's best for me I'm going to save myself the way I should have long before you came Hey, the doctor knows what's best for me He's going to save me from myself Hey, I know, I know what's best for me I'm going to save myself the way I should Hey, the doctor knows what's best for me He's going to save me from myself We don't need no friends We're doing all right They will never understand Why I'm keeping you around We don't need no friends We're doing all right They will never understand Why I'm keeping you around
