All those city people with their heads down in the rain
All the hostile faces with their souls all washed away
If you ask if you can talk to them for a minute
They run and say that they don't have the time
They can't spare a moment
And they're no friends of mine, they're no friends of mine

All those happy couples, don't they spread it all around?
They have to tell you about the love they've found
They can talk till they're ready to die but I won't believe it
'Cause they they just don't look to me like the loving kind
They're living in a fairy tale
And they're no friends of mine, they're no friends of mine

All those rich men's daughters, don't they glitter every time they move
And their college boyfriends and the things they try to prove
They've got a lot of nice ideas about social changes
Till the day comes they have to fall back into line
Then they turn away and smile
And they're no friends of mine, they're no friends of mine
