A song about my 'friends'; specifically, the ones who annoy me and piss me off and generally be anything but friends, after i've done things for them. Gits.

'A Rock and a Hard Place'

Sometimes I don't know
why I bother

sometimes I really
don't care

What are they really
there for
Apart from to mess you up
inside your head?

yeah...

Ya know I wonder why they
try to get me on their side
when they tell me the truth
and I find out they just lied

No, I don't care if they say sorry
I don't care if they say bye
Cuz as far as i'm concerned
they just go ahead and lie

They pull me up
and they tear me down
I go to cloud nine
then I hit the ground...

(guitar/drum buildup to chorus)

Hard like i'm stuck
between a rock and a hard place
I don't know what to do
Won't someone help me now!
No, I guess that ain't gonna happen
Cuz its me against the rest of the world
the rest of the world
the rest of the world...

I go through life
I try to do well
but then I meet these guys
and they put me through hell

Why do they do it?
What have they got to gain
I mean all their gonna lose
is a good friend
a good friend
a good friend...

They pull me up
and they tear me down
I go to cloud nine
then I hit the ground...

(chorus)

I try to help them
try to make them better
and what do I get
I get spat on
Spat on like a piece of dirt
Takes me to a new world
A world where all I seem to feel
is hurt
hurt
hurt...

They pull me up
and they tear me down
I go to cloud nine
and then I hit the ground...

(chorus)

I don't know why I bother
sometimes

I wonder whether its worth it
I wonder what i've done to deserve it
I hope and pray
that it'll end someday

(fade)
