Throwing Up My Hands
was forcin' my feet
through the hail and the heat
tryin' to hit royal street, grab that throne
when i got an alert that the hate and the hurt
in the dust and the dirt were my own, so
im throwing up my hands, calling off my plans
chalking it up to dumb fate
i'm throwing up my hands, i'm doin' a little dance
i'm giving up and it feels great
always felt it was a fact
that i'd have an impact
on this rock, cold and cracked
i'd be strong
but it's slowly come clear
through the thick atmosphere
this stone's too big to steer
i was wrong, so
im throwing up my hands calling off my plans
it's a lost cause, it's too late
i'm throwing up my hands, i'm doin' a little dance
i'm giving up and it feels great
you say its upsetting
just to see me settling
it's so sad
but id rather be a quitter
than to end up growin' bitter
or goin' mad, screw that
im throwing up my hands, i'm tellin' all my friends
i'm comin' home no need to wait
i'm throwing up my hands, i'm doin' a little dance
i'm giving up and it feels great
