What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
every time you shake someone's hand and it feels like your best friend,
2
could it be that it's only superficiality?,
3
without regard to well-being, without an inkling of compromise,
4
handshakes are nothing but a subtle "fuck you",
5
contracts determine the best friendships
6
this is the way of the modern world, everyone's vying for patronage,
7
this is the way of the modern world, and something has gotta give
8
every time you shake someone's hand,
9
and you share neither color or creed,
10
you gotta overcome the obstacles of history,
11
there is restrained passion, mistrust, and bigotry
12
and these have created the new foundations of society,
13
there's no harmony just class and race
14
this is the way of the modern world,
15
everyone's fighting for dominance,
16
this is the way of the modern world,
17
and something has gotta give
18
now I believe in unity, and I am willing to compromise,
19
but I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul
20
every time you shake someone's hand,
21
it determines where you stand,
22
and if you won't uphold your side then it's better to
23
fend for yourself, and shun the handshake,
24
someone's gotta give
