Lawless Times - John Mellencamp

Well, you can’t trust your neighbor

Husband or wife

Can’t trust the police

With their guns or their nights

Look out for the creepers

Tappin' on your cell phone

You’d better lock your door

Even when you’re at home

My, my, my

These are lawless times

My, my, my

These are lawless times

You can’t trust the banks

The way that you used to do

I hope that Wall Street

Has been good to you

You can’t trust the priest

You’d better watch your behind

Don’t look too close at the government

Hard tellin' what you’ll find

My, my, my

These are lawless times

My, my, my

These are lawless times

Well, I don’t trust myself

I don’t trust you

Don’t get too sick

It’ll be the end of you

Don’t expect a helping hand

If you fall down

And if you want to steal this song

It can be easily loaded down

My, my, my

These are lawless times

My, my, my

These are lawless times

So you might ask yourself

Hey, what can I do?

I can’t trust the future

What’s been promised to you

Learn the rules hard and fast

Take care of yourself

And keep your eyes open

On everybody else

My, my, my

These are lawless times

My, my, my

These are lawless times

My, my, my

These are lawless times

My, my, my

These are lawless times
