It’s raining here in my neighbourhood
And you think you’re in Hollywood
But this is small town suburbia
And it would be much better without people like ya
If I know you, you’ll be staring in someone’s eyes
Saying you’re the new James Dean
You’re a freedom fighter
And just one of the guys
But you’re a fairweather friend
You only come around when a man’s been paid
You’re a fairweather friend
You only lay down when your bed’s been made
Me I’m busted and my tyres are flat
And that machine guns go rat a tat tat
I can’t see you for dust
You really are someone I could trust
If I know you, you’ll be picking some pocket
Showing pictures of yourself while
Demonstrating against some nuclear rocket
You’re a fairweather friend
Shaking on my hand while you’re stabbing my back
A fairweather friend
You retreat when everybody attacks
Fairweather friend
You’re just fly sh#t on my venetian blind
A fairweather friend
You are often cruel but you’re never kind
Still raining here in my neighbourhood
And you think you’re in Hollywood
But this is small town suburbia
And it would be much better without people like ya
I know you’ll be cheating in some game of poker
All your deck is marked
Say you’ve got four Kings
But you’re just a Joker
Fairweather friend
