Manchester Orchestra - I've Got Friends Lyrics

Genre: Rock

Send "I've Got Friends" Ringtone to your Cell

Songwriters: John Andrew Hull

Dirty on the ground is what I see
I got another one to tell you
And another one to make you believe

Pity in the grass, tried to be
The one you needed when I told you
That you wanted something bigger than me

I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay

I said that I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay

'Cause you are not alive
But when I need you, I need it quickly
In case you never know

I can't play where I'm not supposed to
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway

Dirty on the ground is what I see
I need another reason why
I need another reason, tell me to breathe

The dirtier the sound, the best I breathe
I tried to do it all for you
It didn't do anything for me

'Cause I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay

I got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay

And you and I will find
That when I need you, I need it quickly
In fact, you'll never know

'Cause I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay

I said that I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay

He said that I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay, to stay

For I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
And I know they don't want me to stay, to stay

Send "I've Got Friends" Ringtone to your Cell

i would also have to say drugs.. cuz the dealer is ur friend and doesnt want u to stay.. or love.. But i would have to say the Trix explanation kinda makes sense.

Jeez you are all so wrong. The song is obviously about Trix cereal and he's singing it from the point view of the Rabbit with the kids being his "friends" in the song.

I thought this song was about being in a relationship with a person who is not there for you when you need them to be. Just a thought.

I've got friends in all the right places (drug dealers) I know what they want and I know they don't want me to say ..you're not alive (drugs) when I need you (drugs) I need it quickly (love/drugs) in case you never know ... THAT is my interpretation of this song but it's a fantastic song. =D
