“Cheap Shots” is the last song on Holy Ghost!’s 2013 album “Dynamics.” The lyrics conclude the album’s central theme around personal and social dynamics. In this song Alex Frankel narrates the betrayal of a friend through a rumor.
[Verse 1]
I heard you don't mean what you mean
When you get mean
I heard you're drunk with self esteem
Beneath the scenes
I am a B-Movie
Or so it seems
And I can, weigh the cons, weigh the cons, weigh the pros
Roll camera, let it go
[Chorus 1]
Your friends will, will give you
Cheap shots and low blows
Your friends will, will hurt you
Just to let you know
[Verse 2]
It's true, I know you don't know
Who you said you knew
And it's true, when soon enough can't come too soon
Everyone was laughing
Laughing at the at the midnite show and to these jokes
Everyone was asking, it's a con it's a con
We're the pros, low camera let it go
[Chorus 2]
Your friends will, will give you
Cheap shots and low blows
Your friends will, will hurt you
Just to let you know
Oh they love you so
Your friends will, will give you
Cheap shots and low blows
Your friends will, will hurt you
Just to let you know
Oh they love you so
[Bridge]
If only I knew then
What I know now in the end
Oh no, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd see the same film again
I said If only I knew then
What I know now in the end
Weigh the cons , weigh the cons , weigh the pros
[Chorus 1]
Your friends will, will give you
Cheap shots and low blows
Your friends will, will hurt you
Just to let you know
[Outro]
