Mid-tempo blues rock track characterized by a gritty, soulful atmosphere and a prominent electric guitar presence, The song features a driving 4/4 rhythm section with a punchy snare and a steady bassline that anchors the groove, A distorted electric guitar provides both rhythmic riffs and expressive, bluesy lead fills throughout, The vocals are delivered by a male singer with a raspy, powerful baritone, utilizing soulful growls and passionate delivery, The structure follows a standard verse-chorus format, punctuated by a melodic and technical electric guitar solo that employs wah-wah effects and sustain, Production is clean but retains a raw, live-band feel with natural reverb on the vocals and a warm, analog-style mix

[Verse 1]
People say this
People say that
It's hard to tell who's got your back
Some mean well
Stand up with you
But all too many just out to get you
Watch out
Keep one eye open
(Mmm)
Then ask yourself

[Chorus]
Who can you trust?
Some people ain't all they seem
Who can you trust?
Tell me something I believe

[Verse 2]
Some talk too much
Say too little
Shooting off lies like a pistol
Stick with people who treat you right
Leave all the rest out of sight
Watch out
Keep one eye open
(Mmm)
Then ask yourself

[Chorus]
Who can you trust?
Some people ain't all they seem
Who can you trust?
Tell me something I believe

[Guitar Solo]
(Instrumental)

[Verse 3]
If you hear somebody say take my word
Be careful or you're gonna get burned
They might be selling you on a scale
Could be a woman with a hidden plan
Watch out
Keep one eye open
(Ooh)
Then ask yourself

[Chorus]
Who can you trust?
Some people ain't all they seem
Who can you trust?
Tell me something I believe
Yeah, who can you trust?
Some people ain't all they seem
Yeah, who can you trust?
Tell me something I believe
Something I believe
Something I believe
