|
Every time you shake someone's hand |
|
And it feels like your best friend |
|
Could it be that it's only superficiality? |
|
Without regard to well being without an inkling of compromise |
|
Handshakes are nothing but a subtle fuck you |
|
And contracts determine the best friendships |
|
This is the way of the modern world |
|
Everyone's vying for patronage |
|
This is the way of the modern world |
|
And something has gotta give |
|
Every time you shake someone's hand |
|
And you share neither color or creed |
|
You gotta overcome the obstacles of history |
|
There is restrained passion mistrust and bigotry |
|
And these have created the new foundations of society |
|
There's no harmony just class and race |
|
This is the way of the modern world |
|
Everyone's fighting for dominance |
|
This is the way of the modern world |
|
And something has gotta give |
|
Now I believe in unity |
|
And I am willing to compromise |
|
But I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul |
|
Every time you shake someone's hand |
|
It determines where you stand |
|
And if you won't uphold your side then it's better to |
|
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself |
|
And shun the handshake |
|
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself |
|
And shun the handshake |
|
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself |
|
And shun the handshake |
|
Someone's gotta give |
