I’ll Be There for You Lyrics

Chemical night, funeral day
Then it's Monday, fit and able
Gotta be seen to be on the scene
Every sucker takes that payroll
Put a big smile on your body's face
And they'll never get near your soul

And I thought you were above all this
Yet I find that you're complicit in this mess, well
I won't forget, but I will forgive

Live in a time where lies come true
Devotion just for fools
But I'll be there for you
Work in a world with no value
Love I see right through
'Cause I'll be there for you

Uh, smash it all up, bring it all down
Justify it with statistics
He's a small man but he's got a plan
Verging on the terroristic
I can see you making little moves
Signifying with your lipstick

I believed we had a secret deal
Now I see the basis of what had appealed
You made your point
But I'm still disappointed
Live in a time where lies come true
Devotion just for fools
But I'll be there for you
Work in a world with no value
Love I see right through
'Cause I'll be there for you
Live in a time where lies come true
Devotion just for fools
'Cause I will be there for you

Chemical night, funeral day
Then it's Monday, fit and able
Gotta be seen to be on the scene
Every sucker takes that payroll
Put a big smile on your body's face
And they'll never get near your soul

I believed we had a secret deal
Now I see the basis of what had appealed
You made your point
But I'm still disappointed

Living in a time where lies come true
Devotion just for fools
'Cause I will be there for you
Working in a world with no value
Loving I see right through
'Cause I will be there for you
Live in a time where lies come true
Devotion just for fools
'Cause I will be there for you
Chemical night, funeral day
Then it's Monday, fit and able
Then it's Monday, fit and able
Gotta be seen to be on the scene
Every sucker done take that payroll
Every sucker done take that payroll
Put a big smile on your body's face
And they'll never get near your soul
And they'll never get near your soul
Chemical night, funeral day
Ah na na na na

I will be there for you
See, I'll be there for you
Yeah
