Oh, Mr. Friction - Was (Not Was)

Drink from bottle when I’m home alone

Spank the kids with a fork

Run the appliances high-speed all day

Switch stations every 5 seconds

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 20 seconds, can you repeat it again?

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, Iomtalo, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Drink from bottle when I’m home alone

Spank the kids with a fork

Run the appliances high-speed all day

Switch stations every 5 seconds

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 gotta get the, the carrots out

I said, «I'm coming with dynamite»

Drink from bottle when I’m home alone

Spank the kids with a fork
