Last Time I Checked lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watched the news this morning for the first time in ages
It’s not that I’d forgotten I just thought my time's being wasted
On propaganda, if I can I’d
Rather use my time
To stress that’s not everything’s as it seems on the frontline

They talk about the tragedies in the USA
Shed no light on non-english speaking countries that’s a shame
Sends a pain to my heart
When the ignorance is sparked
We blame society
But we’re society
Since the last time I checked..

[Chorus]
Seems like it won’t end
Since the last time I checked
I don’t have as many friends

[Verse 2]
My black friend says “Hey n*gga!” to his black friend
But if a white man says it to him it’ll cause offence
Offensive in one way’s offensive in all
He tries to justify it that’s his downfall
My girl friend says “Hey b*tch!” to her girl friend
But if a man says it to her it’ll cause offence
Offensive in one way’s offensive in all
She tries to justify it that’s her downfall
Since the last time I checked..

[Chorus]
Seems like it won’t end
Since the last time I checked
I don’t have as many friends
I want too many friends
I don’t have as many
I don’t need as many
I don’t want too many friends
