Kid Gloves Lyrics

Artist: Rush
Album: Grace Under Pressure

A world of difference
A world so out of touch
Overwhelmed by everything
But wanting more so much

Call it blind frustration
Call it blind man's bluff
Call each other names
Your voices rude,
Your voices rough
Then you learn the lesson
That it's cool to be so tough

Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the lessons
Taught in school won't be enough
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson
That it's cool to be so tough

A world of indifference
Heads and hearts too full
Careless of the consequence
Of constant push and pull

Anger got bare knuckles
Anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns
Reverse the golden rule
Then you learn the lesson
That it's tough to be so cool

Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the weapons
And the ways of hard-knock school
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson
That it's tough to be so cool

great song. Alex Lifeson's guitar work is out of this world. Best guitarist in the world!

I hadn't heard the song KId Gloves for quite some time (10- 15 yrs). When I heard it again last week a flood of great memories. I agree that Alex is a fantastic guitarist maybe the best!!

Very fun song from a great album by a great band. Alex Lifeson truly is an incredible guitar player - certainly my all-time favourite. Awesome lyrics too.

This song came out at the right growing up age of 16 in 1984 in my case . All I say its a song which makes alot of sense for a growing up person .

On Friday's I open a cold one and set my media player on random... and listen to the first 7 random songs. This one came up first... and i'm going to try and score tix in the AM to their first show in the Maritimes in 25 years. Fitting.
