Amanda Palmer - Friday

Amanda Palmer's cover/reinterpretation of Friday. It's shaky at the beginning because of the lolz, sorry!

Performed live April 22nd, 2011 at Mass Art, recorded by me :)

Lyrics:

7am waking up in the morning
Gotta go to work, gotta wake and bake
Gotta smoke a bowl, where's my bowl
Who took my fucking bowl?
Put on a dress, I wish I had a nice dress
Gotta get down to the truck stop
Gotta pay my rent
I see my pimp

Sitting in his front seat
We get into his back seat
Gotta make my mind numb
He makes me scream his name

It's Friday, Friday
Gotta go down on Friday
Gotta disassociate in order to withstand it
Friday, Friday
Going down on Friday
And I am not looking forward to the outcome

So boring so boring
And so degrading
Not fun at all
But he'll beat me if I don't pretend

7pm I'm so sore I could die
Working all night and staying stoned
Fun, fun, think about fun
Sex used to be fun
I hate this I hate this
My friend is not all right
She thinks she might've caught something
And now she's in the hospital

Does he want a hand job
Does he want a blow job
Can he make his mind up
How much will I make?

It's Friday, Friday
Gotta go down on Friday
Gotta disassociate in order to withstand it
Friday, Friday
Going down on Friday
And I am not looking forward to the outcome

So boring so boring
And so degrading
Not fun at all
But he'll beat me if I don't pretend

Yesterday he hit me (hit me)
Today he will hit me (hit me)
He he he's so excited
He's so excited
He's gonna fuck my sister

Tomorrow is Saturday
I have to work
On Sunday
I also have to work
Sometimes I just want my life to end

A.F.P.
Amanda fucking Palmer
What kinda dirty bitch got a name like that?
Friday's gonna smack you senseless
Upside with my Jesus necklace
You my ho, girl you know, who is motherfucking in control?
Friday gonna get his way or you get in the hospital
Say my name bitch, I wanna hear the drama
Getting it off with Amanda Palmer
Take it, slut, I know this game
Suck it, hooker, say my name
bitch

It's Friday, Friday
Gotta go down on Friday
Gotta disassociate in order to withstand it
Friday, Friday
Going down on Friday
And I am not looking forward to the outcome

Friday, Friday
Gotta go down on Friday
Every single day I have to get my pimp off
Friday, Friday
His name is Friday
Sometimes I dream about ODing on purpose

But I have two kids
And they have no father
What would happen if I died
It would be awful
I don't know how I can keep on living like this
But I feel like I have no alternative
Our rent went up and I can't get health insurance
What if we're evicted and I can't get health insurance?

(Yesterday he hit me) I don't know how I can keep on living like this
(Today he will hit me) But I feel like I have no alternative
(Yesterday he hit me) Our rent went up and I can't get health insurance
(Today he will hit me) What if we're evicted and I can't get health insurance?

I want to laugh, I also want to cry.

Did any one else notice Mellissa Mahoney (who was once molested) singing back up?

[velenofiore]

what a sad song, I don't understand why people think its so funny- i mean i really like this song, and i love AP, but i dont understand the audience's reaction- or the others commenting-

[jadoredior1983]

This is amazing!!! I loved seeing it live last night! We are the media!

[Eoshatt]

This really has a deep meaning: the depiction of poor people's lifes and problems and what they can do for money to provide for their families in opposition to rich teenagers' lifes and pseudo-problems and ridiculous demands. Though hilarious, this song shows Amanda Palmer's inspirating social awareness.

[jjlinert]

This is the best version ever!

[ScrapBrainMusic]

Interviewed her last weekend on student radio, and she brought the ukulele out and played this.  At first we were in stitches, then as it got on it began to hurt- so funny but moving at the same time. Really intense experience in such a weird way.

[AliciaLessThan3]

so friday is the name of her pimp? mwahaha

[leftyliz140]

@sweet666q She was abducted by aliens who shaved off her eyebrows, and replaced them with extraterrestrial barcodes, so she could be identified when the time came to retrieve her.

[leochik2]

3 people have obviously never been hookers
