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
