Social Skills

Someone gave me a name and I threw it away
I used to learn anything
Now I only learn names
But what if I had
Trouble making all those friends?
Would I be miserable or altogether different?

Would I be lonely or happy?
Or about the same? Without

Social skills
Expensive thrills
Made 1000 friends in 1000 towns
But which one’s paying my bills?

Couldn’t reach the stars
Was too busy rotting in bars
Only wishing they’d play that song ’til I disappear
Here’s to social skills

Someone gave me a face and I threw it away
Had to hide it a couple of times before it agreed with me
But never gave me no trouble
Making all those friends
And if it had
Would I be miserable or different?
Would I be lonely or happy?
Or about the same? without

Social skills
Expensive thrills
Made 1000 friends in 1000 towns
But which one’s paying my bills?

Couldn’t reach the stars
Was too busy rotting in bars
Only wishing they’d play that song ’til I disappear
Here’s to social skills

Can’t deny
Time flies by when you’ve only got
Social skills

Someone gave me a name and I threw it away
man I used to know something now I only got

Social skills
Expensive thrills
Made 1000 friends in 1000 towns
But which one’s paying my bills?

Couldn’t reach the stars
Was too busy rotting in bars
Only wishing they’d play that song ’til I disappear
Here’s to social skills

Can’t deny
Time flies by when you’ve only got
Social skills
