Let’s Shake On It

You were the ones who wouldn't compromise You were the ones who took us all by surprise We're the ones with honor I can't take this pressure Signal the sirens, sound the alarms Do as you're told they say, "You won't be harmed." Another day, another dollar 'til you become a slave Cause they sit back and smile while you're digging your own grave A simple handshake, it's all part of the plan I don't remember shaking anybody's hand This is a feeling that I just can't shake My peace of mind was never yours to take You always said you had the best intentions That doesn't mean a thing to me now You've got nowhere to turn A lesson lived is a lesson you'll never learn The silence breaks, the questions rise Nothing but false hope hidden in disguise None of this makes sense to me It's not hard to see what you're about It won't be long until the secrets all come out Because the truth will always find you (you cannot run from me) But the truth won't set you free, it won't change the minds of your enemies You took the life right out of me You think you've got me shut down You tried to ruin my name You think you've got this figured out But I'm not the one to blame You think you've got me shut down But I'm still standing strong You think you've got this figured out But it was me you needed all along
