All my friends have deserted again And I don't want to be a loner In my head I can sleep when I'm dead Baby don't let the hype dilute ya I got no want for the quiet life No forced up smiles over tired eyes Give me a taste of the riot life 'Cause I'd rather be a martyr than grow tomatoes Keep the young between your teeth Take the love Take the doves Take the self-belief Make your shoes look squeaky clean But if you want to be a leader stop being a cheater So bounce if you've had enough Of the people you know So bounce if you've had enough And just let go All my friends have deserted again And I don't want to be a loner In my head I can sleep when I'm dead Baby don't let the hype dilute ya Now lock me up in a riot van As I hold up my fingers to this old man He made sure my future plans Became a time bomb sleep with the lights on Treating the planet like a playground Distraction for distraction To cover up the shakedown Hey now You better not let me out All my friends have deserted again And I don't want to be a loner In my head I can sleep when I'm dead Baby don't let the hype dilute ya You know what I mean yeah You know what I mean yeah You know what I mean yeah Do you know what I mean yeah You know what I mean yeah You know what I mean yeah You know what I mean yeah Do you know what I mean yeah All my friends have deserted again And I don't want to be a loner In my head I can sleep when I'm dead Baby don't let the hype dilute ya All my friends have deserted again And I don't want to be a loner In my head I can sleep when I'm dead Baby don't let the hype dilute ya
