[Pre-Chorus]

Stab me in the back, shoot yourself in the foot

Friendly fire burning into black tar soot

You can turn the table but you can't turn me

Lying to yourself and your company

Devil's hands were idle so you made them your own

Desire got the best of you as most of us know

You're bound to the wheel with chains of gold

Go from life to life never resting your bones


[Chorus]

Friendly fire

I think I'm under attack

Friendly fire

Shoot me right in the back

Friendly fire

It's getting harder to breathe

I'm staring down the barrel of a friend in need


[Verse 1]

Weeping with the willows so I cry, cry ,cry

Deep down I know I got eyes in the sky

Ain't the first time I've been dealt this hand

Name of the game, hold on and withstand

Fiending for a reason, scheming like a crook

Everything you got, is everything you took

This is such a sad, sad sight to see

Maybe for the others, but not for me


[Chorus]

Friendly fire

I think I'm under attack

Friendly fire

Shoot me right in the back

Friendly fire

It's getting harder to breathe

I'm staring down the barrel of a friend in need

Friendly fire

I'll never understand

Friendly fire

God is laughing at the plan

Friendly fire

It's getting hard to believe

End a good run like killing off a weed

End a good run like killing off a weed

(End a good run like killing off a)


[Bridge]

Stab me in the back, shoot yourself in the foot

Friendly fire burning into black tar soot

You can turn the table but you can't turn me

Lying to yourself and your company

Devil's hands were idle so you made them your own

Desire got the best of you as most of us know

You're bound to the wheel with chains of gold

Go from life to life never resting your bones


[Chorus]

Friendly fire

I think I'm under attack

Friendly fire

Shoot me right in the back

Friendly fire

It's getting harder to breathe

I'm staring down the barrel of a friend in need

Friendly fire

I'll never understand

Friendly fire

God is laughing at the plan

Friendly fire

It's getting hard to believe

End a good run like killing off a weed

End a good run like killing off a weed

End a good run like killing off a weed

End a good run like killing off a weed
