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, coz they know what's 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

Chorus
They're killing me with kindness, again 
Everybody says they're your friend
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 would only do good

Chorus

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 something's killing me, it's my lack of meaning 
Everybody's smiling but I don't have any feelings 
I'm not breaking down on a account of executive stress

Chorus
