I made so many excuses that year
I could have handed one out to every serving politician
I could have been the ruler of Russia
Or the USA and not just you and me
Don't trust him
Has he ever looked you in the eye
Don't trust him
Yeah I know I'm just another jealous guy
Don't trust him
Let me think of one more reason why
When you hold me again
I will shovel up these words
like the snow fall in Washington
When you hold me again
I mean if you do
If you hold me again
Every sentence I almost said
Seemed like a trite cliche
uttered by men already dead
but it's what you wanted to hear
I could get it out after six or seven beers
