๐ Lyrics
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's 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's 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, 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 (I believe in unity)
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself, and shun the handshake (I am willing to compromise)
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself, and shun the handshake (I believe in unity)
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself, and shun the handshake (But I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul)
Someone's gotta give
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's 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's 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, 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 (I believe in unity)
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself, and shun the handshake (I am willing to compromise)
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself, and shun the handshake (I believe in unity)
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself, and shun the handshake (But I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul)
Someone's gotta give
