My Hands In My Lap

Together we stand

Your hands in my hands

My hands in my lap

I shot for stars

But they shot to kill

Remember me still

Tour was fun while it lasted

Broken bones turn into shattered ones

It's hardly as if you can ask for it

When you're sleeping alone in your car

Don't move boy, you've got no choice

Ignore that itch that sits on your arm

Grown men with their new toys

They've gotta show off

It's just in their blood

It's just a new gun

It's just someone's son

It's just all the crying at night

'cause you're missing a loved one

I'm done, 'cause nothing has changed

Since the glorious age

Of thе slavery trade

Togethеr we stand

Your hands in my hands

My hands in my lap

And I shot for stars

But, they shot to kill

So, remember me still

Tour was fun while it lasted

But it didn't last long

It turns out there's no second chances

When your skin colour's wrong

Don't move boy, oh don't move

They're watching and waiting to shoot

Straight through the windscreen, straight through you

I know it's brutal, the things that they do

It's just a new gun

And it's just someone's son

It's just all the crying at night

Finger and thumb

Squeeze 'til he's done

Oh have your fun

Together we stand

Your hands in my hands

My hands in my lap

I shot for stars

But they shot to kill

So, remember me still

Tour was fun while it lasted...
