Faith No More - The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies Lyrics






The words are so familiar -
all the same greats, the same mistakes
It doesn't have to be like this.

If you don't make a friend, now
One might make you -
So learn
The gentle art of making enemies

Don't look so surprised
Happy birthday...Fucker
Blow that candle out,
We're gonna kick you

(Don't say you're not because you are)
(Don't say you're not because you are)
(History tells us that you are)
(History tells us that you are)

All you need is just one more excuse
You put up one hell of a fight
I wanna hear your very best excuse
Never felt this much alive

Your day has finally come -
So wear the hat and do the dance
And let the suit keep wearing you.

This year you'll sit and take it
And you will like it -
It's the gentle art of making enemies

I deserve a reward
Cuz I'm the best fuck that you ever had
And if I tighten up my hole -
You may never see the light again

(There's always an easy way out)
(There's always an easy way out)
(You need something wet in your mouth)
(You need something wet in your mouth)

Never felt this much alive

  11. i.... ....

    73 dislikes. Wish i could use an RPG 7 to blow all of em.

  12. f.... ....

    Soup brought me here

  13. n.... ....

    The "melody" of "you may never see the light again" is one of my absolute favourites

  14. e.... e....

    Last night some strange lady with no pants on demanded I take my pants off... allegedly she got kicked out of the shop for smelling soap and trying to buy soap... immediately prior her new pimp daddy laughed at the tram stop, with his new bling bling chain... Maybe it was the one who needed a new orange beanie last September... Maybe it was the one who sells drugs and steals... Maybe it was the one who needed to visit and is now cut off

    e.... e....

    He was a patient Greek philosopher who only talked about his step daughter....

  15. p.... t....

    anyone see them live in the uk? love slipknot to a version of this

  16. p.... t....

    "happy birthday fucker"

  17. S.... a....

    Backstreet boys could do a g rated version of this song and collaborate with the new kids on the block... make a soap opera about ir and call it fitzroy

  18. D.... W....

    And I deserve a reward for im the best fuck that you ever had , my blow up doll agrees lol

  19. S.... a....

    How can a woman with a 13 year old listen to music she did at 13... I got two punches for my birthday...

  20. S.... a....

    when anyone assumes someone is a dumb fuck' only time and way good back prep pays off in the long run... and id like to cry all night.... but nothing crying will do will help... im empty of all humane feeling, but my intellect says just wait...

    S.... a....

    I am just the dumb fuck they want when the pay hits... and they will keep

  21. S.... a....

    I swear and I promise I will pay you back the money... just the same play different fortnight...

    S.... a....

    the pancake morning tea I missed and the marquee nearly blew away, but then I never saw both girls in the same place... and one day I will. I just talk to them like they be the same ppl... but they will never know me...

  22. S.... a....

    but essentially there has been a communication failure... and she is the one that will take hamd over fist and then walk away into someone who will do the same... and in acey duecy, she drew the low low card....

    S.... a....

    but sometimes when its not that game, we go into slingshot boomeramg mode and we regroup for the next assault.... and if its the empty pocket she desires I can go get the money to acquire anything I need .. as it sits waiting...

  23. S.... a....

    going out to the rolling head fuck of the fortnight... and the objectifying of women who say things like she said in front of my daughter many many years ago...

  24. C.... J....

    Happy birthday Mike Patton, 51 years young <3

  25. V.... B....

    YeeaAAAAAHHHH!

  26. N.... C....

    Didn't Trey Spruance play on this whole album?

    N.... C....

    Yes he did but was never a full member of FNM.

  27. �.... ....

    COOL

  28. C.... F....

    I have been listening to this album since I bought it when it came out in 1994. I love it. Fave song from the album. And for the life of me I couldn’t tell you what it’s about. Something tells me it’s not a love ballad but I could be wrong. Mike Patton’s Faith No More lyrics have always been entertainingly sophomoric but occasionally brilliant gibberish. “It’s so cool it’s so hip it’s alright, it’s so groovy it’s out of sight”?

    C.... F....

    Bend over, I'll show you what it's about.

  29. d.... ....

    You put up one hell of a fight, happy birthday fucking best fuck I've ever had. Fucker.

    Is it ever possible to just enjoy multiple bands instead of saying that one copied the other ??

    A.... J....

    Why fuck up perfection.
