The Myth Of Trust Lyrics - Billy Bragg

I woke up this morning 

To find that we have outlived the myth of trust 

You woke up this morning 

To the fact we've lost the things 

We took for granted between us 

And I grew up in awe of the girl next door 

And the boy that never cried 

And I was dreaming of those Elizabethan girls 

While you were working in the market 

To earn ourselves 

And when you found out what happened yesterday 

While you were away in this land of Cain 

We were upstairs in the bedroom 

Dancing disgusting 

And flushing our babies down the drain 

And the apple that don't want to get eaten 

Will still fall off the tree 

When you're in as deep as we are honey 

It's so easy to get washed out to sea 

For the facts of life are not man and wife 

But Man and Woman sadly 

And the apple that don't want to get eaten 

Will still fall off the tree 

I woke up this morning 

To find that we have outlived the myth of trust
