Oh, Mr. Friction Lyrics by Was (Not Was)

Out Come the Freaks

0

[Chorus]
Drink from bottle when I home alone
Spank the kids with a fork
Run the appliances high speed all day
Switch stations every five seconds

[Verse 1]
We are mostly mute with one another
Sounds of unexpected voices shock us
Talk is rarely squandered
Is it a favor or a threat?
Long term plan or just a scam?
What'd you say?
Say it over
You know, your hands give you away
Is it evil or selfish or for criminal gain?
If it takes twenty seconds can you repeat it again?

[Verse 2]
What's it mean
Straight out with it
Or don't say it at all
I can take it
Call me Judas
I'm a bastard, I'll admit it
I'm Mr. Friction
(Oh, Mr. Friction)
I can force you to tell me
Friction accepts no lies
I accept all lies
I am the main lie
You can't lie to a lie
I am the main lie
You can't lie to a lie
Johnny Yuma was a copper
Johnny Yuma
See what you done now?
Now I'm a gangster
Can't speaka no Ingles
Hopsa hopsa lorry
Quanna quanna quanna may
Lomtali, Iomtala
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Drink from bottle when I home alone
Spank the kids with a fork
Run the appliances high speed all day
Switch stations every five seconds

[Verse 3]
Don't bring me help
I don't like when you stare
What's wrong?
Water's running everywhere
Hot water
Even on my lawn
Don't ask what's wrong
This is intentional
Blang, blang, blang, blang
Who called the cops?
I said I'd be alright
I, I gotta get the, the carrots out
I said, I'm coming with dynamite

[Outro]
Drink from bottle when I home alone
Spank the kids with a fork
