Everything
Shake the hand of the man
who told you lies.
"It will be all right."
And then it came to an end.
Shake the hand of the man
who tore it all apart.
I guess you needed to start
all over again.
And I know
it must have cut to the bone
when you lost your home
and the man you thought you knew.
And you might not believe it, old friend,
but it cut me too.
Shake the hand of the man
who shook your walls
and made you crawl
with a child in your arms.
Shake the hand of the man
who let you down
and then spread all your secrets
from town to town to town.
And I know
it must have cut to the bone
when you lost everything
you thought you knew.
And you might not believe it, old friend,
but I lost everything too.
And you might not believe it old friend
when we lost everything we got everything.
