Let's Shake On It - Favorite Weapon

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
