Please don’t be so naïve/You know you’re not fooling anyone/You’re not as
tough as you think/With dirty second hands, The dirty second hands

In the land of the free/and the home of the remedy/The old clock is a thief/
With dirty second hands, with dirty second hands

---REPEAT CHORUS (instead of bending with the electric, continue with the
acoustic riff)

Bridge: continuing with the acoustic riff all the way through:
Are you really as tough as you think? You blink and you’re over the brink/
You bleed but you’re blood runs pink/With dirty second hands, dirty second
hands/You’re not quite as tough as you thought/You bought the American
rot/The very seed that you thought you shot/With dirty second hands, dirty
second hands/You might be right/The fight might be right inside you/The
blind leading the lied to/Tonight maybe you bind you with dirty second hands

---REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

end with the acoustic riff
