All Alright (The Friends Song)

from Knoxville by Andrew Fleming

/

about

This song is for anyone with friends worth fighting with.

lyrics

Discussions philosophical
In our climate subtropical,
I'm turning everything we say into innuendo.
Cursing curfew parameters
In iambic pentameter,
Wondering to ourselves, "Hey, now where do we go?"

Chicks with accents are fantastic.
Jacob’s homeless. Dalton’s fascist.
Allen’s shameless. Conner’s spastic.
It’s a wonder we’re not dead.
“Buy a switchblade.” “No that’s dangerous.
They would card us and detain us
Simply for no other reason than because my hair is red."

These are my friends.

Procrastinating epically,
drawing teachers in effigy
Overusing profanity, waking up with headaches
Starting summer illegally,
Escaping waking eight to three,
That hypochristianity, making peace with heartbreak

From our exes and their promise.
Summer’s hot, well, no, your mom is.
It gets harder and harder and harder.
Well that’s totally what she said.
Hang with McCulloch. Logan Peterson will
Cry with you if you need him,
But I still can’t say anything
Because my hair is red.

These are my friends.

We’re all alright. We’re just hell-bent.
We’ll bring you down. This is how we’re meant to be.
We’re all alright. We’re just hell-bent.
We’ll bring you down. We are the other 5%.

Rewrote my retributions
With what redhead constitution I have left.
My day is over, yet I'm feeling quite nostalgic
For those who came before us,
Michael Williams and his chorus,
Ethan Healy on the track, his beats border insanity.

Well Nick Picou is ever-ethnic.
Hechinger, well she's electric.
I don't where I started from,
but I'm seeing it more clearly.
How come we don't get shows
With that Joseph Barrios?
Molly Mulroy, There's Colleen
And all the Akins I love dearly.

We’re all alright. We’re just hell-bent.
We’ll bring you down. This is how we’re meant to be.
We’re all alright. We’re just hell-bent.
We’ll bring you down. We are the other 5%.

about

Andrew Fleming Memphis, Tennessee

My life's a broken record of brunettes and bad coffee,
but I know that this isn't just some 80s movie,
because all that I need is for you to speak softly,
and two parents to come home to who think everything is groovy.
