Lyrics
Handshakers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody thinks what they're doing is right
All their good intentions end up winning the fight
Cast away formalities and go for the throat
But did you ever think that you might make me choke
Where do you come from? What do you do?
What are you here for? I don't have a clue
I don't follow sports or the current events
I know you're being nice, but don't be so intense
We've got a new one
Won't be new for long
Take some time and tell me
That I'm wrong
I'm just a normal guy with nothing to prove
Just leave me alone, you've got nothing to lose
I've already made it through your unwanted advice
Just don't invite me out cause I'm just being nice
Am I the only one who's considerate now
You've got to follow rules if you want to go out
And I can't get away from all these handshakers
On second thought, I guess it could be worse
We've got a new one
Won't be new for long
Take some time and tell me
That I'm wrong
