Fairweather friends are chasing the weather They don't call us now Fairweather friends, don't you bother We don't want you anyhow Chorus So close the door on the day Close the door on the world's cruel ways Close the door, let's stay at home We'll start a world of our own Billboards beckon, they say come and buy Is there nothing that's not for sale Seems no matter what you're buying It's just shares in someone's jail Chorus I'm not saying we should stop believing No that's when your spirit dies I'm not saying we should stop believing Just stop believing lies My father told me, stick with your family And he was right, now I have no doubt And he told me in only half a joke Your friends are your friends 'til you find them out Chorus (2x)
