Jimmy Neutron Had a Dog, So Why Can’t I Have a Friend? lyrics

[Verse 1]
The bill can't be too much
The truth is that I can't spend enough (That I can't spend enough)
Fix my social distrust with something
Pumping gas instead of blood
Hours are nothing to automaton-something
Agree with me, please, don't act like I'm shunning
Connections and friends for simple synapses
Love doesn't work, and you're proof of that happening

[Chorus]
Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement

[Verse 2]
It's beginning to talk and it said
That I didn't try enough (That I didn't try enough)
That I should just give up
Then it left with most my stuff
Blueprints all said, "Fail first, try again"
Just like you said, "The first time you'll f*ck up, but always you'll try again"

[Chorus]
Now that we're unable (Now that we're unable) to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
Now that we're unable (Now that we're unable) to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
[Refrain]
If this is what you call human, this is what I call desperate
If this is what you call human, this is what I call desperate
If this is what you call human, well, this is what I call desperate
If this is what you call human, well, this is what I call desperate
Well, this is what I call desperate

[Bridge]
You gave me all these blistered fingers
Over metal shards and oiled fixtures
f*ck you and f*ck me even harder
Tell me why I even bother
You gave me all these blistered fingers
Over metal shards and oiled fixtures
f*ck you and f*ck me even harder
Tell me why I even bother
f*ck

[Chorus]
Now that we're unable (Now that we're unable) to pretend we are stable, I am
(I wish I was stable again)
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
Now that we're unable (Now that we're unable) to pretend we are stable, I am
(I wish I was stable again)
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
