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
