The Bank and Trust - The Elected

Well, she gets real mean when she’s drunk

And she finally fell asleep and I’m glad

She said, «The only way you got as far as you did

Was 'cause of me, your songs suck»

And I’m stuck in this American town

And the streets are full of snow

And the shops are closed down

And the only friend I had here moved away

Went back to Dallas, ran out of money

So now, the bills have all been paid

And the money’s all been saved

You’re still as sad as you ever were

Selling out to the man you trust

The next morning just after dawn

On the side of my bed with just a towel on

She said, «I'm sorry, I didn’t mean it»

You never do, let’s finish what we were working on

So now, the bills have all been paid

And the money’s all been saved

We’re just as bad as we ever were

Selling out to the bank and trust

Yeah, the bank and trust

(Oh, walk on…)

And I met this girl from Montgomery

A twenty-six year-old with a five year-old baby

Yeah, I had her when I was young

Yeah, her daddy’s long gone

But that’s all right, Jack

You see, she saved me

It’s just that I feel stuck in this American town

I finally got a good job, it’d just be dumb to move now

It’s just some days, I can hardly move

Oh, much less, move away

So now, the bills have all been paid

And the money’s all been saved

We’re just as bad as we ever were, ever were

Selling out to the bank and trust

Yeah, I’m the man you trust

Yeah, I’m the man you trust

Yeah, I’m the man you trust

Yeah, I’m the man you trust
