Lyrics
The Shame Of A Perfect Race
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you know the story of poverty and suffering?
Do you know the story of shame and loneliness?
A cold winter and a cold heart that stole the life
Of an old man
No pity and an ice cold room now he was left alone
In loneliness
He met his doom
Ignorance we feel it
To break out of this game
Blow for blow we fight back
Shout it out we are men
'Subhuman creatures' got to die for industry and science
Just to make Mrs. Rich smell nice
Watch the many beggars roaming streets and doorways
Just a piece of bread, just a coin and for them a dream
Comes true
It's a shame to have money and ignore the need
Closing your eyes makes your mind turn greedy
Want and need are the same for us all
Black or white, rich or poor
Can you sleep quietly when you hear the cries of despair?
Can you live your life without fear?
Look at those wankers they don't care what's going on
People, people like that just think of number one
We're not able to cry
We suppress the truth
