Killing Me With Kindness

Dum Dums

Turned down three crap jobs now they're cutting off my money


And they only say they do it cause they know whats best for me


Mum and dad wanting me to sell my brains to a factory


Well it feels so good all these people looking out for me


Now they're getting on my back because they know best


But I know I'm better than settling for less





They're killing me with kindness again


Everybody says they're your friend





I've got a box full of reject letters worded carefully


Tearing out my heart with a smile and a handshake


They don't have the faith I can learn to make a milkshake


As they tear down the park and build a fast food earthquake


I couldn't stop laughing as the businessman stood


Telling us progress could only do good





They're killing me with kindness again


Everybody says they're your friend





You can kill with a briefcase, or a pen and dotted line


Or a kick in the balls if it's at the right time


And I know people who will stab you in the back


And pregnant schoolgirls who gave their Dad a heart attack yeah


But if somethings killing me it's my lack of meaning


Everybody's smiling but I don't have any feelings


I'm not breaking down on account of executive stress





They're killing me with kindness again


Everybody says they're your friend
