Calexico - Entrainment lyrics

The boy didn't cry wolf, the wolf howled sheep/ While foul pigs pointed barking dogs at suspect cats in the streets/ For a peep from the horse's mouth on the cash cow's whereabouts/ While Wall St. monkeys run around like chickens with their heads cut off/ And the courthouse is just the chopping block/ In a world where justice is served piping hot or ice cold/ I use this heart that turned into stone to write my black list on/ And it's been growing since more and more liars and thieves are/ Crossing the thin line between right and wrong/ I'm once bitten and twice shy so once you join my bad side/ There aren't many roads for anybody to ride back home/ This isn't a diss song, just real rap/ From a warm heart that refuses to turn cold for those faking jax/ Like I said before keep your word bond or don't even bother breaking the silence/ Still I can see them fix their lips to decieve again Or expose their teeth to bite the hand that fed them/ I wrote this verse to be an antidote for the venom/ Just sharing some wisdom and throwing caution to the wind/ Stop searching for the treasure anywhere but within/ Is where and how I begin this piece of the letter/ I believe in a fair shake whenever two hands meet/ And still seek peace at every place I am/ Even though that's where I'll always be/ Gave some people the benefit of the doubt/ Later found out their were just about benefits/ Goes to show who's really a true friend in the end/ I keep my wits about me from the get-go/ Convinced this too shall pa** like it already happened/
