Sanoja: Bad Religion. Stranger Than Fiction. The Handshake.

Every time you shake someone's hand
And it feels like your best friend
Could it be that it's only superficiality?
Without regard to well being without an inkling of compromise
Handshakes are nothing but a subtle fuck you
And contracts determine the best friendships

This is the way of the modern world
Everyone's vying for patronage
This is the way of the modern world
And something has gotta give

Every time you shake someone's hand
And you share neither color or creed

And these have created the new foundations of society
There's no harmony just class and race

This is the way of the modern world
Everyone's fighting for dominance
This is the way of the modern world
And something has gotta give

Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself
And shun the handshake
Fend for yourself, fend for yourself, fend for yourself
And shun the handshake

Someone's gotta give
