STRAITJACKET

Guess it’s time I prove myself to you

The record spins while the night falls through

Needles through calluses Arms through straitjacket sleeves

If they leave me locked up tonight You’ve done the best thing for me

Did they abandon me in time

]Happiness breeds contempt in my kind

You stay on your half And I’l stay on mine

You may not have lied to me yet But I know that you will sometime

And there’s no one to trust Your like the rest of us

And you lied and you lied ‘til you just about bust

and there’s no one to trust

don’t wanna hear the questions you might ask

or see your glowin’ temper or your powder flash

you might despise me cuss me under your breath

but the one thing you won’t like the most is we’re made of the same flesh

And there’s no one to trust Your like the rest of us

And you lied and you lied ‘til you just about bust

and there’s no one to trust

in a crowd the righteous are so hard to tell

you’re makin’ deals like everything’s for sale

among your reading habits where the letter or the law’s misspelled

with your children running rabid did all your lessons fail

Guess it’s time I prove myself to you

The record spins while the night falls through

Needles through calluses Arms through straitjacket sleeves

If they leave me locked up tonight You’ve done the best thing for me

And there’s no one to trust Your like the rest of us

And you lied and you lied ‘til you just about bust

and there’s no one to trust
