Hands Up |
Everybody knows |
So everyone says |
It’s built on your bones |
It’s stacked on your stones |
And everybody tries |
To mean it for real |
Like who do you trust |
What do you steal |
And how many foreigners can i really feel |
You put away all your poems |
And you buried the box |
The day that you were rejected |
From the school of hard knocks |
And i took a permanent marker |
To my deepest desires |
Took a look inside and i cut |
All of the wires |
Hands up we got back to the questions |
Gave up on a better direction |
Hands up we go back to the scene |
I often wonder what the answers mean |
There’s a place in the sky |
Where the canadians go |
They got a password that i |
I don’t think i’ll ever know |
So we keep a place in the corner |
Where we can stay for a while |
Just keep your hands in your lap |
Don’t give a smile don’t give a smile |
Hands up we go back to the questions |
Gave up on a better direction |
Hands up no it never ends |
Would you go country before all your friends |
Hands up we go back to the questions |
Gave up on another election |
Hands up with your heart on your sleeve |
Oh life before death — yeah oh yeah, i believe |
