Lyrics
With friends like these
Expressing dissatisfaction or disappointment with the current state of friendship
There's no need to worry your head
Suggesting that having such friends eliminates the need for concern or worry
It seems
Indicating a shift in focus or topic
They know everything
Implies that these friends possess extensive knowledge or information
Hand on the heart
Symbolic gesture, possibly indicating sincerity or honesty
They see how you should feel
Suggesting that these friends dictate or influence how one should feel
But, oh, how
Reflecting on the downfall of those considered mighty or powerful
The mighty all fall down
Highlighting the vulnerability and downfall of influential individuals
Heavy in a sea of principles
Describing a state where principles weigh heavily, possibly leading to failure
They drown
Metaphorically suggesting that adherence to principles can lead to drowning
They have only one dream
Highlighting the singular focus or aspiration of these friends
Only one way
Emphasizing the rigid and singular approach these friends adopt
With only one vision and
Describing the friends as having a single shared vision
Thought for the day
Suggesting a recurring or daily guiding thought
With friends like these
Reiterating dissatisfaction with these friends
Woh, oh, woh
Expressing emotions with vocalizations
Cautioning the way the world is turning
Advising caution regarding the direction the world is taking
I want to know
Pose a question about whether these friends will understand the world's state
Will they ever, ever see
Expressing doubt about whether these friends will perceive or acknowledge
Or be sure
Prompting consideration of alternative perspectives or solutions
There's another way
Questioning the clarity of one's thought processes
Your mind is working?
Asking about the functionality of one's mind
Now right or wrong
Presenting a dichotomy of right or wrong
They never walk alone
Suggesting that these friends always have company or support
How lucky are the few
Highlighting the fortune of those who know their place or purpose
Who know where they belong
Emphasizing the value of knowing one's identity or direction
For they have...
Introducing an incomplete thought or idea
Only one dream
Reiteration of the singular dream of these friends
Only one way
Repetition of the exclusive approach these friends adhere to
With only one vision and
Restating the unity of vision among these friends
Thought for the day
Reiterating the presence of a daily guiding thought
There is only (there is only)
Emphasizing the singularity of the dream
One dream (yeah, there is only)
Repetition of the exclusivity of the dream
Only one way
Reiteration of the singular approach these friends adopt
With only one vision
Repeating the unity of vision among these friends
Thought for the day (here's your thought for the day)
Restating the presence of a daily guiding thought
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Expressing vocal enthusiasm or affirmation
Your thought for the day (here's your thought for the day)
Reiterating the presence of a daily guiding thought
Your thought for the day
