Turned down three crap jobs now theyre cutting off my money
And they only say they do it cause they know whats best for me
Mum and dad wanting me to sell my brains to a factory
Well it feels so good all these people looking out for me
Now theyre getting on my back because they know best
But I know Im better than settling for less

Theyre killing me with kindness again
Everybody says theyre your friend

Ive got a box full of reject letters worded carefully
Tearing out my heart with a smile and a handshake
They dont have the faith I can learn to make a milkshake
As they tear down the park and build a fast food earthquake
I couldnt stop laughing as the businessman stood
Telling us progress could only do good

Theyre killing me with kindness again
Everybody says theyre your friend

You can kill with a briefcase, or a pen and dotted line
Or a kick in the balls if its at the right time
And I know people who will stab you in the back
And pregnant schoolgirls who gave their dad a heart attack yeah
But if somethings killing me its my lack of meaning
Everybodys smiling but I dont have any feelings
Im not breaking down on account of executive stress

Theyre killing me with kindness again
Everybody says theyre your friend
