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 And 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
