My Hands In My Lap by Michael Aldag Lyrics

Together we stand
Your hands in my hands
My hands in my lap

I shot for stars
But they shot to kill
Remember me still

Tour was fun while it lasted
Broken bones turn into shattered ones
It's hardly as if you can ask for it
When you're sleeping alone in your car

Don't move boy, you've got no choice
Ignore that itch that sits on your arm
Grown men with their new toys
They've gotta show off

It's just in their blood
It's just a new gun
It's just someone's son
It's just all the crying at night
'cause you're missing a loved one
I'm done, 'cause nothing has changed
Since the glorious age
Of thе slavery trade

Togethеr we stand
Your hands in my hands
My hands in my lap

And I shot for stars
But, they shot to kill
So, remember me still

Tour was fun while it lasted
But it didn't last long
It turns out there's no second chances
When your skin colour's wrong

Don't move boy, oh don't move
They're watching and waiting to shoot
Straight through the windscreen, straight through you
I know it's brutal, the things that they do

It's just a new gun
And it's just someone's son
It's just all the crying at night
Finger and thumb
Squeeze 'til he's done
Oh have your fun

Together we stand
Your hands in my hands
My hands in my lap

I shot for stars
But they shot to kill
So, remember me still

Tour was fun while it lasted...
