Shame

I've been down too many times
I can't feel my bones
I've been down all the time
I would not even feel
If a train came crushin' into my soul
Don't blow me away
Sometimes I need some piece of mind
Shakin' like a dog left behind
Sometimes I get so sick of it all
I would not even feel
If a train came crushin' into my soul
Shame, shame you blew me away
I don't need no sister to cry for me
I need someone to please
But I don't need to go down in flames
I can't get my feet on the ground
Jumping around with the devil in my vein
Some motherfucker tried to hold me down with love and chains
I would not feel
If a train came crushin' into my soul
Shame, shame you blew me away
I don't need no brother to cry for me
'Cause I need someone to please
But I don't need to go down in flames
You like to see when I fly down below
Why don't you borrow my eyes so you can see what I see
What I see
What I see
What I see
Now, look what you've done
It's a shame, shame you blew me away
I don't need no sister to cry for me
I need someone to please
But I don't need to go down in flames
Shame you blew me away
I don't need no brother to cry for me
'Cause I need someone to please
But I don't need, no, I don't need...
It's not the end of the world when the sun goes down
Rise and shine, people, and realise the shocking truth
You all need some resurrection
To rise up the thin road of secret action
And, now get this into your head
Diesel and power, a truck, a church of love
Where the priest is gasoline and the devil is behind the wheel
Try to break this psycho circus on steel
I'm born to lose, born to ride
And this is how we all look
No trespassing and no way back
This is a one-way, motherfuckin', track
So do you wanna come with me, bitch
Well, it's a shame...
