Your Racist Friend Lyrics

    This is where the party ends
    I can't stand here listening to you
    And your racist friend
    I know politics bore you
    But i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
    And your racist friend

    It was the loveliest party that i've ever attended
    If anything was broken i'm sure it could be mended
    My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
    Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying

    This is where the party ends
    I'll just sit here wondering how you
    Can stand by your racist friend
    I know politics bore you
    But i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
    You and your racist friend

    This is where the party ends
    I can't stand here listening to you
    And your racist friend
    I know politics bore you
    But i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
    And your racist friend

    Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
    Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
    He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
    Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding

    This is where the party ends
    I can't stand here listening to you
    And your racist friend
    I know politics bore you
    But i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
    And your racist friend

    That i've ever attended
    If anything got broken
    I'm sure it could be mended

    Tolerate some bullethead and the bullshit that he's sayin'

    This is where the party ends
    I can't stand here listening to your
    Your racist friend

    This is where the party ends
    This is
