The Handshake (Explicit)

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 f**k 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
