The Bank and Trust Lyrics by The Elected

Sun, Sun, Sun

2006

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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...)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
