You Can Buy Friends Lyrics - The Bears

A squat greek sips his ouzo 

fingering his gold neck chain 

robust corn-fed american beauties 

lick the salty rim of margaritas 

in the corner lies a comatose musician 

dreaming on the job again 

you can't buy love 

but you can buy friends 

upon her breast a shiny crucifix 

holier than me i guess 

sheds friends like a snake sheds skin 

her laughter sounds so venomous 

in his corner lies the once proud musician 

thinking on the job again
