Don't call me out, 'cause I heard you scream
I don't wanna get out of bed for this again
Won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream
I don't believe you trust in me
Trust in me

I bet you only listen to your friends
I'm talking like I can pretend
But I feel better when
You tell me that I always have to go
You tell me what I want to know
And I'll feel better for it
But I know sometimes it's hard for me to say
I love you every other day
You pour my heart away
And sometimes I'm scared of what they've done
So I look how far we've come
You think you don't have to put up a fight
But you might as well
So I tell you everything you won't admit
You tell me you don't care one bit
And I'll feel better for it

Look online
Do ten minutes of research, and in turn find
The problem is poor kids who want holidays in term time
The problem is poor kids who can't afford the train fare
So we up the train fare and charge them for not paying the train fare
The problem is welfare
The problem is free healthcare
'Cause it's unfair, and if it's gone, it's welfare
The problem is drugs
The problem is free love and free hugs
So stay in fear
Do some drugs and stay here

Well, I said, "Go on, then!"
But God bless the weatherman
Who has gone out of business since the psychoactive substance ban
The gateway has sent him back
From bulk-buying NOS to selling crack
The problem rose when a rich man suggested it
Over his lunchtime snack
So we ban the produce and it's a bit of a nuisance, really

"Don't waste your time", I heard you scream
I don't wanna get out of bed today, okay
Won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream
I don't believe you trust in me
Trust in me me
Please trust in me
Please trust in me
