Handshake Lyrics

Laughing up,

At the people on the bottom rung

Yeah you think you've got it pretty tough

But at least you have a hand-hold son

'Cos down here where the ladder stops

In the gutter with the cripples and crooks

Even a soap-box would do us fine, but no

We need our own ways of getting high so

We'll sail away to

Sweet dreams in a doorway

Pay it down

For the good of the common man

That's enough to make a monocle drop

That's enough to cause a caviar spit-take

And vendetta on the daily news

We'll make a straw-man just to abuse

You've gotta learn that if you wanna be fed

We trickle down dough so you can make bread

We'll sail away to

Sweet dreams in a doorway

You'd better hope that you've got

The right place, and the the right time

The right reason and the right rhyme

The right shoes and the right hair

The right handshake

You'd better hope that you've got

The right place, and the the right time

The right reason and the right rhyme

The right shoes and the right hair

The right handshake
