Let's Be Strangers
written by: Jak Locke

from Jak Locke Goes Too Far (2012 December 18) (2:35)
Everyone here has a dream and a story
Ideas by the thousands to spare
Yes, inside every mind is a wealth of experiences
And whatever they are, I don't care

Because what's worse than a person? Two people! It's true
And three people is worse by far
Add more and you'll see that the trend comes to be
The more people involved, the lower the bar

And so, if you see me, just keep walking by
We'll share more respect cuz we'll never know why
And I won't give a shit about you
If you'll do the same for me too

Look at me strumming this ugly guitar
Look at me looking right back
Maybe you hate everything that you've heard
"The jukebox was better, you hack"
Isn't it fun to feel superior
But there's always a flip side, you know
Singing stupid songs like this is my living
So have fun at your pointless fuckin job tomorrow

And please, if you see me, just keep walking by
We'll share more respect cuz we'll never know why
And I won't give a shit about you
If you'll do the same for me too

Don't be my friend
You'll just ask me to help you move
Don't be my friend
I'll just make you come to all my shows
Don't flirt with me
I'll just wonder if you've got crabs
Don't talk to me
Neither one of us is that interesting

And please, if you see me, just keep walking by
We'll share more respect cuz we'll never know why
And I won't give a shit about you
If you'll do the same for me too
If you'll do the same for me too
