We grew up so fast
Or maybe not fast enough
And we watched the world pass us by
Too complacent to care
Too tired to even try
But they don't know how the story goes
Wipe the coke from the mirror
And the blood off of your nose
Cause they don't believe it's true
Yeah, they don't know you like I do
And they say we've got friends in high places
Yeah, they say we've got friends with high faces
And it's true
So build it up then tear it down
Or give it thought then turn it around
Cause they don't believe it's true
Yeah, they don't know you like I do
And they say we've got friends in high places
Yeah, they say we've got friends with high faces
And it's true
They don't know you like I do
Oh no
Cause they don't believe it's true
Yeah, they don't know you like I do
And they say we've got friends in high places
Yeah, they say we've got friends with high faces
And it's true
But I thank God that it's not you
And I thank God that it's not you
