Social Distortion - Far Behind

Lyrics:
With friends like you, who needs enemies?
You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be,
You're out of the car, I'm afraid you've been declined.
You shake my hand, while you're pissing on my leg
I'm cuttin you loose, I don't need this misery
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine.
You talk real trash when I'm not around
To build yourself up, you gotta to tear me down.
You'll have to excuse me, I've got better things to do.
You smile through your teeth, you talk out your neck
Every chance you get you're gonna stab my back.
Your time's run out, I've got nothing left for you...
[Chorus:]
I'm leaving you far behind.
I'm leaving you far behind.
Stop wasting all, all my time.
I'm leaving you far behind.
So I'm pulling out the weeds, I'm taking stock
You can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk
Your narcissistic ways have gotten the best of you.
So I'm leaving you to sink, in all your glory
For you and me it's the end of the story.
Get out of my way, I've got better things to do...
[Chorus x3]
With friends like you, who needs enemies?
You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine.

This song is therapy.

Mike Ness has not only been a wicked rad influence in my life musically, but I was in Chicago when he asked for all the youngest kids to come on stage. I was 8 months pregnant and the crowd gathered around me to protect me. Mike had his own kids with him and this was what I love most. It's all about family and the next generation of music. My daughter still proclaims to her friends that her first concert was Social Distortion in Chicago. Love you Mr Ness 😊

@@danielryan6527 if it was only based on talent, they absolutely would be. But I think those types of things are basically nothing more than a hyped-up glorified popularity contest. Unfortunately.

[@adamhenry6754]

I know ! So underrated!!

[@jakeknotthead]

I remember when I first heard Social D, my father gave me one of their CDs back when I was like 10. He told me their music is living music, fighting music, crying music, it is rock for the soul. He was right. I'm still a fan after all these years.

[@dark7angel456]

I've been listenting to social D for about 16 years now. It hasn't changed my life but it's helped me get through it.

[@colincameron092]

When i first heard this song, i had just gotten out of a five year relationship. I was mad at everything, so obviously i was listening to angry music. This song came on and i started listening to the lyrics and i broke down. Five years flashed before my eyes and i had realized what had gone wrong and why. I was in the wrong. From that day on i was a different person. This song literally changed my life. That you Social Distortion and thank you Mike Ness!! Keep rocking the fucking earth!!

[@hredjragon3005]

Colin bruh... that's probably one of the most and best comments on KZbin....or at all for that matter. I'm glad you found out where you are

[@TheTCBandage]

Been to many SD all ages shows in my lifetime where I've seen Mr. Ness ask the kids in the crowd whose got the cool parents who took who them to the show tonight. So one night at Irving Plaza in NYC when he asked the same question I yelled down to him: Who is the cool son who took his Mom to the show? We had a reserved table upstairs, stage left in the corner just the 2 of us, Mom smoking Salem's and sipping Manhattan's. Mike pounded his chest and blew a kiss up to my Mom. It made her night. RIP Mom you were way cool.

[@moehawk4736]

That's definitely an awesome story of your life. I'm sorry about your mom dude. My dad passed away a few years ago from cancer. I'm still waiting for social distortion to come to St. Louis. It would be my first time seeing them perform In real life. Social Distortion has helped me through a lot of happy, sad and fucked up situations in my life. They are among the too 3 favorite punk rock bands in my opinion.... In no particular order these are my top 3 favorites. Social Distortion, Maid of Ace, Rancid... And Mike and the gang get to tour with Maid of Ace next summer in Europe.. I don't know who makes me more jealous... Social Distortion or Maid of Ace....

[@spacecadet2789]

Social D since 1988 jam these cats still daily. Has gotten me through a shit load of bullshit in my life. 40 now and will jam SD another 40 years!!!

[@stephenmras8519]

this song is so fucking amazing, social distortion is my fav band for the past 8/9 years the songs mean so much and they have helped me get through so much in my life. thank u social D

[@autumnwolf3952]

All of SD's songs have so much meaning to them in their lyrics... it is insane how great a band they are. One of the best things was when I found out about this band last year. Better late then never! I dedicate this song to all of those who have been stabbed in the back by a "friend". Leaving you far behind and don't waste my time.

thank the universe for Social D......timeless genius.....

I admire this band so much (:

[@adrianbishop995]

I'll never forget meeting them in bakersfield. I was two months sober. I balled my eyes out like a little bitch during ball and chain. after words he told me to not feel bad because music is supposed to resonate with you. He then gave me a giant hug and said, "it'll all be ok someday sick boy." Some things in life you just can't forget.

[@cromag_jetlag9079]

The friend that introduced me to Social D od'd and and is gone from my life now. Social D reminds me of him and all the years long gone. I love the band... even though Mike Ness was an ass to me the 1 and only time I met him... No ones perfect and I am no one to judge.

[@Dunskaroo]

I remember seeing them at the Beale Street Music Festival a few years back and Mr. Ness introduced this as a new song. It was such an awesome feeling listening to this live while the wind from the river blew through my hair and the smoke from my joint filled my lungs. They sounded so sick on the main stage.

I bet most of you here thinking you discovered a new band have herd Story of my life a million times before and never realized who was on. I don't blame you, its what happens, the catchy tunes get the buzz and no one cares its catchy and I like it. Word of advice, listen to a whole CD. The best music never makes it on the air. if the music on a CD isn't better than the radio song then you knot its a dud of a band, IE. one hit wonder.

I absolutely love every song they do & that's not a exaggeration. I cant believe this band is not all over the radio.
