My Friend George Lyrics by Lou Reed

My Friend George Lyrics

    Read in the paper 'bout a man killed with a sword
    And that made my think of my friend george
    People said the man was five foot six
    Sounds like george with his killing stick

    Hey bro, what's the word
    Talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Hey bro, what's the word
    Talkin' 'bout my friend george
    You talkin' 'bout my friend george

    I knew george since he's eight
    I always thought that he was great
    And anything that george would do
    You know that i would do it too

    George liked music and george liked to fight
    He worked out in a downtown gym every night
    I'd spar with him when work was done
    We split lips but it was all in fun

    Hey bro, what's the word
    You talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Hey bro, what's the word
    Talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Talkin' 'bout my friend george

    Next thing i hear george's got this stick
    He's using it for more than kicks
    I seen him down at smalley's bar
    He was wired up, i tried to calm him down

    Avenge yourself he says to me
    Avenge yourself for humanity
    Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
    Stick it to these guys right through their heads

    Well, the fight is my music, the stick is my sword
    And you know that i love you, so please don't say a word
    Can't you hear the music playing, the anthem, it's my call
    And the last i seen of george was him
    Running through the door, i says -

    Hey bro, what's the word
    Talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Hey bro, what's the word
    You talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Talkin' 'bout my friend george

    Hey bro, what's the word
    You talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Hey bro, what's the word
    What me saying 'bout my friend george
    Hey bro, what's the word
    Hear you talkin' 'bout my friend george
    Hey bro, what's the word
    I hear talkin' 'bout my friend george
