With Friends Like These
-Josiah Vermont

Everyday you ask me if I’m ok
What kind of friend would want to see me fall?
Everyday you ask me if I’m still alright
Has me wondering if you care for me at all

Some sell out for silver
Some eye your gleaming gold
Some are pocket watching
studying the contents of your billfold

Some were bent before they met you
Some change as they grow old
Some wouldn’t open up their door
if you were outside shivering in the cold

With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Smile in your face, embrace, and a snake’s kiss
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Got to sleep with both eyes open
when you live around friends like this
