Lyrics
Shame
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.
There was a time
Where our years just felt alive
Well the world started to change
And it never quite felt the same
And the sky turned to fire
And the people cried oh why, ooh
So they (looked) far and wide
When the answer was in front of their eyes
Little children started to cry, ooh
Screaming 'mama and papa, ooh why'
So they told them a lie
Just to silence
And the people started to die
With their hands (tilted)
They've been waiting for the moment before they fall down dead
Singing ooh what a shame (shame, shame, shame)
Oooh what a shame
Oooh what a shame (shame, shame, shame)
Oooh what a shame
What a shame, what a shame
Ooh, la-la-la, what a shame
What a shame
