Shame

(×)[Hm]Do you ever get that feeling 
When the [A]guilt begins to [E]hurt? 
[Hm]Seeing all the children 
[A]Wallowing in [E]dirt 
[Hm]Crying out with hunger 
[A]Crying out in [E]pain 
[Hm]At least the dirt will wash off 
[A]When it starts to [E]rain 
 
(××)[H]Soap won‘t wash [A]away your [H]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?
