Handshake Agreement

This must be nice just what you wanted
Eaten alive: we've got that in common
Cogniscent of unconscious threats
Saw it all off: that's what I do best
Respectful dissent, or cutting-glass comment?
You know what I said, but that's not what I meant
Taking what's mine, rightfully owed
Nobody minds, if nobody knows

We walked through this disaster
Maybe now I'm better off
I thought that we were past this
Somehow I'm still catching up
Well, it's best not to lie
But you can't really mean this
So let's not rely on a handshake agreement

Means don't want ends it starts to seem funny
I trust all your friends, just not with my money
Capital gains start to mean less
You lost the whole game who got the assist?
Respectful dissent or cutting-glass comment?
You know what I said but that's not what I meant
Take as a sign what's openly shown
Nobody minds if nobody knows.

So much for your etiquette
You'd take exception but you're trying to be nice
That won't get you anywhere
This latest lesson really opened up my eyes
So much for your etiquette
Yeah, I could tell you were just trying to be nice
That won't get you anywhere
This latest lesson really opened up my eyes
