Lyrics
Hands
You know the ones
End of an arm
Getting all the fun
Hands
Our eyes in the dark
Such potential
For these utensils
Hands
Fourteen phalanges
Made for lending
For breaking and mending
Hands
Hands
These agents for intention
One minute fighting
The next playing
Hands
They’ve got lots to give
Everywhere I look
People do amazing things with
Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign
I just don’t know
What to do with mine
Hands
One either side
Fingertips
One through five
Hands
Quite a design
I wish I knew yours
Like the back of mine
Hands
Moving nimbly
Primate tools
I got mine for free
Hands
Not always clever
The power to hurt
And make things better
One minute waving
The next flailing
Hands
They’ve got lots to wreck
Everywhere I look
People do useless things with
Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign
I just don’t know
What to do with mine
Hands
They’ve got lots to give
If you wanna do some good
You better use them right
So hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign
I just don’t know
What to do with mine
