Handshakes from Dolomite by The Take

Handshakes for a better wage
I’m barely paying my own way
Asleep and drooling on the page
A financial concern
It costs so much to make us learn
We'd rather torch all our returns
They'll warm us as they burn

Callous in verses
Calculated choruses
All part of the bigger lie
Kneel down before the great hi-fi

Damning the money flow
Holes plugged with losses
There are no
Mathematicians anymore
Dreams are far from water-tight
No rules are down to overwrite
How will i sleep through the night?
Like a baby smacked up to the teeth

Callous in verses
Calculated choruses
All part of the bigger lie
Kneel down before the great hi-fi

You dug yourself so far underground
The soil suffocates your cells
Ears full of mud and as you go down
Come on and give us the hard sell

(Sinking the sun in setting clay)
(collecting fossils never pays)
(Sinking the sun in setting clay)
(collecting fossils never pays)

Callous in verses
Calculated choruses
All part of the bigger lie
All kneel before the great hi-fi
