(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
