I bet you get to feeling pretty well shot Like you used to think a deal's a deal, but now you know it's not And it don't matter if you work or steal cause there's no one behind The wheel When a promise is just something you pretend that you believe You can trust me CHORUS You can trust me When there's no one left to trust You can trust me When it gets down to them and us If a friend is all you want a friend is all I want to be Trust me I heard a spokesman for my generation He said he was misquoted, he said it was just misinformation When lowered expectation turns to quiet desperation And you can't believe what anybody says even when it's on TV You can trust me CHORUS People always say to me, you can't choose your family But I don't think that's where it ends, cause you can barely choose Your Friends And I'll tell you this for what it's worth, you get the friends that You Deserve These are words that no one ever means These are words of lawyers, political machines Smoke-screens, go betweens, vaseline and magic beans When opiates and hypocrites are all there seem to be You can trust me CHORUS
