Lyrics of 'Let's Shake On It' by 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
