The handshake seals the contract From the contract there's no turning back The turning point of a career In Korea being insincere The holiday was fun-packed The contract, still intact The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph on the wall Tells the story of it all Picture it now see just how The lies and deceit gained a little more power Confidence - taken in By a suntan and a grin The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves - after all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts Details Written by Martin L.
