The Scratches - #Freewater Lyrics

I wash your back, you scratch my itch, that's how it goes
But don't pretend there's not a price I have to pay
Your charity is selfish, everybody knows
Mutual support that only goes one way
And I know you won't be there for me someday
You hold the cup as I die of thirst
I need your water now, but it's not free
So you just watch as I die of thirst
I can't help you now, so why help me
Collect your tokens, tear your tickets, we'll promote
But never mind the bottom line you'll overthrow
Prey on the dreamers, dry up every well you own
What an icy way to thank the ones you owe
Take your bow among the roses that we've grown
You hold the cup as I die of thirst
I need your water now, but it's not free
So you just watch as I die of thirst
I can't help you now, so why help me
We're friends with benefits
The kind that only benefit you
I'll never get you
We're friends with benefits
The kind that only benefit you
I'll never get you
I'll never get you
I'll never get you
You hold the cup as I die of thirst
I need your water now, but it's not free
So you just watch as I die of thirst
I can't help you now, so why help me
