Dum Dums - Killing Me With Kindness lyrics

rate me

Turned down three crap jobs now they're 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 they're getting on my back because they know best

But I know I'm better than settling for less

They're killing me with kindness again

Everybody says they're your friend

I've got a box full of reject letters worded carefully

Tearing out my heart with a smile and a handshake

They don't have the faith I can learn to make a milkshake

As they tear down the park and build a fast food earthquake

I couldn't stop laughing as the businessman stood

Telling us progress could only do good

They're killing me with kindness again

Everybody says they're your friend

You can kill with a briefcase, or a pen and dotted line

Or a kick in the balls if it's 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 it's my lack of meaning

Everybody's smiling but I don't have any feelings

I'm not breaking down on account of executive stress

They're killing me with kindness again

Everybody says they're your friend
