Fingers crossed, fingers lost Lyrics

Keep your fingers crossed, that's the expression we all know

But here in the real world, before we know it, another finger must go

Did you hear that promise, did you have a final say

When the big man takes a step it's never for our sake

All we have are far-fetched hopes, keeping our fingers crossed

But how will we pick up the pieces when our fingers are lost

We are merely stepping stones for authorities to grow

How the future will proceed is not for us to know

All we have are far-fetched hopes, keeping our fingers crossed

But how will we pick up the pieces when our fingers are lost

What are we at the end of the day, are we still even here

The calculation has been done, our extinction is near

All we have are far-fetched hopes, keeping our fingers crossed

But how will we pick up the pieces when our fingers are lost

All we have are far-fetched hopes, keeping our fingers crossed

But how will we pick up the pieces when our fingers are lost
