Fingers bleeding we're playing to the morning light
Smoke filled room, pass another bottle of wine
Red button just in case we make it
The genius at work in his rough-down-basic
If he won't shake my hand then why don't you?
Pedal down to the shore with your 8-track
Packed in your backpack, catch the bird song
And it's just so easy easy, raise a glass
Get everybody singing along
And if he won't shake a leg why don't you move?
And if he won't shake my hand then why don't you?
Too busy counting up his money
Chase your chasers; I'll stay true, taking my time, no need to hurry
Time may change me but tonight I'm the same me, don't you know
Stage lights so bright that you're sweating
Hear the echoes you won't be forgetting
If he won't join my band then why don't you?
Hear the melody creeping on the back seat
Jot it down, play it later on repeat
If he don't like my plans then why don't you?
And if he don't drink our cans then why don't you?
If he won't shake my hand then why don't you?
If he won't shake my hand then why don't you
Too busy counting up his earning
Just another jerk to put you on a journey
Turn you into something, ruin what you're burning
Do it for the love of it, do it for me
Oh please, had my Adam's apple bitten by Eve
If he won't shake my hand for the love of it
I would rather my rough hands stay clean
And if he won't shake my hand then why don't you?
(Counting up his money!)
Chase your chasers I'll stay true
No need to hurry
If he won't shake my hand
If he won't shake my hand
If he won't shake my hand
If he won't, he won't he won't, he won't
(Do it for the love of it, do it for me
Oh please, had my Adam's apple bitten by Eve
If he won't shake my hand for the love of it)
If he won't shake my hand then why don't you?
