Lyrics

I don’t wanna be friends
I am playing pretend
And I never can win
I don’t wanna be friends
You hold out your hand
Two fingers you
Knock me down again

Again and again

Chalk it up to me
Draw your circles round my head
It is so neat to be in your scene
As you trace another dead

Now I’m stuck in my feet like sealed concrete
Summer streets and dried cement
I’ll melt in this heat till your mission’s complete
Like your little plastic men

Again and again

I don’t wanna be friends
I am playing pretend
And I never can win
I don’t wanna be friends
You hold out your hand
Two fingers you
Knock me down again

Mm knock me down again
Again and again

I keep waiting for a shot at something more
Then you dump your Lego set
On someone else’s kitchen floor

You don’t need me till you’re crying
Like you’re lying on death’s door
And I fly in like I’m not fighting
Someone else’s stupid war

I keep trying
I don’t wanna be friends
I am playing pretend
And I never can win
I don’t wanna be friends
You hold out your hand
Two fingers you
Knock me down again
Again and again

Mm knock me down again
Again and again
