Shame

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Do you ever get that feelingWhen the guilt begins to hurt?Seeing all the childrenWallowing in dirtCrying out with hungerCrying out in painAt least the dirt will wash offWhen it starts to rainSoap won't wash away your shameDo you ever get the feelingThat something isn't right?Seeing your brother's fistClenched ready for the fightSoon the fighting turns to weaponsAnd the weapons turn to woundsSo the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitchAnd stitch and stitch and stitch and stitchSurgery won't improve your painIt all seems so stupidIt makes me want to give upBut why should I give upWhen it all seems so stupid?Do you ever get the feelingThat something can't be done?To eradicate these problemsAnd make the people oneDo you ever get that feelingSomething like a nagging itch?And all the while the doctors stitchAnd stitch and stitch and stitch and stitchHope alone won't remove the stains (for shame)It all seems so stupidIt makes me want to five upBut why should I give upWhen it all seems so stupid?
