The Elected - The Bank And Trust Lyrics
Well, she gets real mean when she's drunkAnd she finally fell asleep, and I'm gladShe said, 'The only way you got as far as you didIs 'cause of me. Your songs suck'And I'm stuck in this American townAnd the streets are full of snowAnd the shops are closin' downAnd the only friend I had here moved awayWent back to DallasRan out of moneySo now the bills have all been paidAnd the money's all been savedYou're still as sad as you ever wereSellin' outTo the man you trustThe next morning, just after dawnOn the side of my bed with just a towel onShe said, 'I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.'You never do, let's finish what we were working onSo now the bills have all been paidAnd the money's all been savedWe're just as bad as we ever wereSellin' out to the bank and trustYeah, the bank and trustAnd I met this girl from MontgomeryA twenty six-year-old with a five-year-old babyYeah, I had her when I was youngYeah, her daddy's long goneBut that's all right, JackYou see, she saved meIt's just that I feel stuck in this American townI finally got a good job, it'd just be dumb to move nowSo some days I can hardly moveMuch less move awaySo now the bills have all been paidAnd the money's all been savedWe're just as bad as we ever were, ever wereSelling out to the bank and trustYeah, the man you trustYeah, the man you trust
