Hands Up - Soltero

Everybody knows

So everyone says

It’s built on your bones

It’s stacked on your stones

And everybody tries

To mean it for real

Like who do you trust

What do you steal

And how many foreigners can i really feel

You put away all your poems

And you buried the box

The day that you were rejected

From the school of hard knocks

And i took a permanent marker

To my deepest desires

Took a look inside and i cut

All of the wires

Hands up we got back to the questions

Gave up on a better direction

Hands up we go back to the scene

I often wonder what the answers mean

There’s a place in the sky

Where the canadians go

They got a password that i

I don’t think i’ll ever know

So we keep a place in the corner

Where we can stay for a while

Just keep your hands in your lap

Don’t give a smile don’t give a smile

Hands up we go back to the questions

Gave up on a better direction

Hands up no it never ends

Would you go country before all your friends

Hands up we go back to the questions

Gave up on another election

Hands up with your heart on your sleeve

Oh life before death — yeah oh yeah, i believe
