"What A Shame"
The Sound Of Madness
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?
CHORUS::
What a shame
What a shame
To judge a life
That you can't change
The choir sings
The church bell rings
So won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame
To have to beg you
To see that
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?
CHORUS::
God forgive the hands that laid you down
The never knew how much a broken heart
Could 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
CHORUS::
What a shame
Cuz we're not all the same
What a shame
What a shame
Cuz we're not all the same
