SHINEDOWN lyrics : "What A Shame"

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 bells ring

So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See 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]

What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring

So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same

What a shame

God forgive the hands that laid you down

They never knew how, but your broken
Heart can 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, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring

So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same

What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame

'Cause we're not all the same
