It was many years ago
They say that the devil had a prank to play
He took job and picked him out a crowd
And took everything he had worthwhile
And then he introduced a group
Of friends he'd known for all those years
Who thought they were his only smart close friends
We're such impressive, loving, smart, close friends
We hope you'll let us join your job
We hope you'll let us join your job
Start confessin' all your darkest sins
Cause that's just what we need to know
Sorry for your job
It's partly cause we know we're
Probably your only smart close friends
There's something we can't see here
You're certainly in sin
There must be something wrong
With your relationship with God
Because of something that you've done
I don't really wanna talk, said Job
But I thought you might like to know
That this finger pointing thing is wrong
And I want you all to leave me alone
So let me be excused from you
I want a jury of my peers
I want a jury of my peers
And not some petty phony smart close friends
We're still here
What do you think
That you're trying to prove?
As you gang up and talk down to me?
Bending my ears, accusing me of wrong
With friends like that,who needs enemies?
Oh, I can cry with little help from my friends
Oh,and asky why with little help from my friends
Oh, gonna die with a little help from my friends
What did I do to deserve such a fate?
Was it murder or some evil thought?
How do I deal with the pressure and pain?
Are you sad because you're finally caught?
No!
Oh, I can cry with little help from my friends
Oh,and asky why with little help from my friends
Oh, gonna die with a little help from my friends
Did you cheat anybody?
I cheat nobody at all
Did you steal anybody?
That wasn't funny at all
Would you agree to a lie detector test?
Yes, I'm certain that I haven't don a crime
What if the police said you had to confess?
Go!
I would tell them that they'd lost their minds
Go!
Oh, I can cry with little help from my friends
Oh,and asky why with little help from my friends
Oh, gonna die with a little help from my friends
Did you beat anybody?
I just keep beating my breast
Do you need an attorney?
I need you to give it a rest
Oh, I can cry with little help from my friends
Oh,and asky why with little help from my friends
Oh, gonna die with a little help from my friends
Yes, so goodbye, you're little help now my friends
You're little help now my friends
