Song title: Bad Religion - The Handshake

Edit By: 216.73.216.251

Every time you shake someones hand and it feels like your best friend,
Could it be that its only superficiality? ,
Without regard to well-being, without an inkling of compromise,
Handshakes are nothing but a subtle fuck you,
Contracts determine the best friendships

This is the way of the modern world, everyones vying for patronage,
This is the way of the modern world, and something has gotta give

Every time you shake someones 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,
Theres no harmony just class and race

This is the way of the modern world,
Everyones 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 Im not gonna lie or sell my soul

Every time you shake someones hand,
It determines where you stand,
And if you wont uphold your side then its better to
Fend for yourself, and shun the handshake,
Someones gotta give
