Bob Seger — Hands in the Air

[Verse 1] I've seen two-time losers running everywhere Shouting and screamin' "I was never there!" With their hands in the air Hands in the air [Verse 2] I've seen bad news messengers avoiding kings Cheating spouses twisting their rings With their hands in the air Ah, got their hands in the air [Bridge] As guilty as the wind out on the sea Affecting who we are and who we'll be [Verse 3] There's a desperation, a real despair Even the good people are starting to declare "I've got my hands in the air!" "Ah my hands are in the air!" [Verse 4] They're surrendering, they're giving in They'll do anything not to go through this again They've got their hands in the air Ah, their hands are in the air [Bridge] And they're sinking in the quicksand like a stone Broken to the marrow of the bone, oh [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] The dealers are dividing up their tips And the gamblers, they're all cashin' in their chips There's a man in the middle of a parking lot Wondering which way he should go There's a star on the horizon Sinking low, low [Verse 5] All you death wish addicts, you corrupters of truth You killers of spirit, you marauders of youth Get your hands in the air I want to see your hands in the air [Verse 6] If you're selling these lies, these impossible dreams You can keep on washin' but you'll never get clean Get your hands in the air Ah, let me see your hands in the air [Outro] Oh, oh Get your hands in the air Hands in the air Oh, oh Get your hands in the air Hands in the air Oh, oh Ah, get your hands in the air Hands in the air
