You Can't Trust Them Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

Well out on the corner of third and green
They′re dealing prescription amphetamine
And you count your fingers when you shake their hand
'Cause they steal your will as fast as they can

You can′t trust 'em, the souls of love
They keep taking Jesus back off of the cross
Lightning won't strike ′em and the cops won′t bust 'em
And all I know, all I know is you can′t trust 'em

And their ivory towers, they swing and they sway
As they count up the hours ′til you can't pay
And your worth is faded and your presence is raided
And all of their interest is calculated


You can′t trust 'em, the souls of love
They keep taking Jesus back off of the cross
Lightning won't strike ′em and the cops won′t bust 'em
And all I know, all I know is you can′t trust 'em

The bell softly rings beneath their steeple
They′re selling souls and they're dealing people
The choirs sing, the coyotes lay
And quietly they take everything you had

You can′t trust 'em, the souls of love
They keep taking Jesus back off of the cross
Lightning won't strike ′em and the cops won′t bust 'em
And all I know, all I know is you can′t trust 'em
And all I know, all I know is you can′t trust 'em
