Lyrics 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
