Shame

Do you ever get that feeling

When the guilt begins to hurt?

Seeing all the children

Wallowing in dirt

Crying out with hunger

Crying out in pain

At least the dirt will wash off

When it starts to rain



Soap won't wash away your shame



Do you ever get the feeling

That something isn't right?

Seeing your brother's fist

Clenched ready for the fight

Soon the fighting turns to weapons

And the weapons turn to wounds

So the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitch

And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch



Surgery won't improve your pain



It all seems so stupid

It makes me want to give up

But why should i give up

When it all seems so stupid?



Do you ever get the feeling

That something can't be done?

To eradicate these problems

And make the people one

Do you ever get that feeling

Something like a nagging itch?

And all the while the doctors stitch

And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch



Hope alone won't remove the stains (for shame)



It all seems so stupid

It makes me want to five up

But why should i give up

When it all seems so stupid?
