Handshake Agreement We Are Scientists

This must be nice; just what you wanted
Eaten alive: we've got that in common
Cognizant of unconscious threats
Saw it all off: that's what I do best
Respectful dissent, or cutting-glass comment?
You know what I said, but that's not what I meant
Taking what's mine, rightfully owed
Nobody minds, if nobody knows

We walked through this disaster
Maybe now I'm better off
I thought that we were past this
Somehow I'm still catching up
Well, it's best not to lie
But you can't really mean this
So let's not rely on a handshake agreement

Means don't want ends; it starts to seem funny
I trust all your friends, just not with my money
Capital gains start to mean less
You lost the wholе game; who got the assist?
Respеctful dissent or cutting-glass comment?
You know what I said but that's not what I meant
Take as a sign what's openly shown
Nobody minds if nobody knows
