No One's Friend
Patrick Cannell © 1997
A friend of mine was slow to rage,
She kept her spite inside a cage.
When we took sides to stand or fall,
She tried to be a friend to all.
But friendliness can be a vice,
Don't kill yourself by being nice.
One who tries all wars to end
Will be perceived as no one's friend.
No one's friend. No one's friend.
You can't be everybody's rose,
You're bound to step on someone's toes.
No one's friend. No one's friend.
You can't be everybody's rose,
You're bound to get up someone's nose.
No one's friend. No one's friend.
