5 Chinese Brothers – Trust Me

(Paul Foglino)

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 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
