You are the average

VERSE
Em - G - Am
Careful of the friends you have
Remember you can choose
You may not like their attitudes
But in time you'll share their views

Everything gets past around 
From attributes to vice
If you accept their company
You'll soon take their advice

BRIDGE
F  G
Oh man

CHORUS
C
You are the average
Am
Of the five people
F                                                     C
With whom you spend most of the time

You are the average
You only know what you've been taught
You think your culture's thoughts

VERSE
You look around the place you work
With an expression of disgust
At people who you'll never be 
There's no one you can trust

But take a look from a little bit up
You already look the same
You're blending in quite perfectly
You fit inside the frame
You fit inside the frame

BRIDGE + CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
Even you ambitions
What you want from life
Can be enabled or destroyed
By your husband or your wife

Your friends can help you be a better person
Or lead you on the path to sin
You might think you can rise above it
But in time you will sink in
In time you will sink in

BRIDGE + CHORUS

LYRICS:

Careful of the friends you have
Remember you can choose
You may not like their attitudes
But in time you'll share their views

Everything gets past around 
From attributes to vice
If you accept their company
You'll soon take their advice

You are the average
Of the five people
With whom you spend most of the time

You are the average
You only know what you've been taught
You think your culture's thoughts

You look around the place you work
With an expression of disgust
At people who you'll never be 
There's no one you can trust

But take a look from a little bit up
You already look the same
You're blending in quite perfectly
You fit inside the frame
You fit inside the frame

You are the average
Of the five people
With whom you spend most of the time

You are the average
You only know what you've been taught
You think your culture's thoughts

Even you ambitions
What you want from life
Can be enabled or destroyed
By your husband or your wife

Your friends can help you be a better person
Or lead you on the path to sin
You might think you can rise above it
But in time you will sink in
In time you will sink in

You are the average
Of the five people
With whom you spend most of the time

You are the average
You only know what you've been taught
You think your culture's thoughts
