Idle Hands

Idle Hands

Nervous fingers, poison ink
Faceless snipers in the stands

Idle hands, idle hands

Pen is envy, vain and soft
Overloaded, undermanned

Idle hands, idle hands

Their watches run backwards
They miss every sign
But they always deliver
They're paid by the line
They've all seen the future
They'll rant and they'll rave
But they're always riding the crest of the wave

Nest of vipers spit venom on command
Skins shed in shadow, heads in the sand

Idle hands, idle hands

See the mighty brought down by the meek
Those who can do, those who can't critique

Idle hands, idle hands
