Shinedown - What A Shame |
|
Two packs of cigarettes a day |
|
The strongest whiskey |
|
Kentucky can make |
|
That's a recipe to put a vagabond |
|
On his hands and knees |
|
I watched it all up close, |
|
I knew him more than most |
|
I saw a side of him he never showed |
|
Full of sympathy for a world that |
|
Wouldn't let him be |
|
That's the man he was, |
|
Have you heard enough? |
|
What a shame, what a shame, |
|
To judge a life that you can't change |
|
The choir sings, the church bells ring |
|
So, won't you give this man his wings? |
|
What a shame to have to beg you to |
|
See we're not all the same |
|
What a shame |
|
There's a hard life for every silver spoon |
|
There's a touch of grey for every shade |
|
Of blue |
|
That's the way that I see life |
|
If there was nothing wrong, |
|
Then there'd be nothing right |
|
And for this working man they say could |
|
Barely stand |
|
There's gotta be a better place to land |
|
Some kind of remedy for a world that |
|
Wouldn't let him be |
|
That's the man he was, |
|
Have you heard enough? |
|
What a shame, what a shame, |
|
To judge a life that you can't change |
|
The choir sings, the church bells ring |
|
So, won't you give this man his wings? |
|
What a shame to have to beg you to |
|
See we're not all the same |
|
What a shame |
|
God forgive the hands that laid you down |
|
They never knew how, but your broken |
|
Heart can break the sound |
|
And change the season |
|
Now the leaves are falling faster, |
|
Happily ever after |
|
You gave me hope through your endeavors |
|
And now you will live forever |
|
What a shame, what a shame, |
|
To judge a life that you can't change |
|
The choir sings, the church bells ring |
|
So, won't you give this man his wings? |
|
What a shame to have to beg you to |
|
See we're not all the same |
|
What a shame, what a shame |
|
'Cause we're not all the same |
|
What a shame, what a shame |
|
'Cause we're not all the same |
