Hands in The Air

Bob Seger


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 

I've seen bad news messengers avoiding kings 
Cheating spouses twisting their rings 
With their hands in the air 
Oooh, got their hands in the air 
As guilty as the wind out on the sea 
Affecting who we are and who we'll be 

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 

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 
Ooh, their hands in the air 

And they're sinking in the quicksand like a stone 
Broken to the marrow of the bone, oh 

The dealers are dividing up their tips 
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 

All you death wish addicts, you corrupters of truth 
You killers of the spirit, you marauders of youth 
Get your hands in the air 
I want to see your hands in the air 

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 
Let me see your hands in the air
