Shame lyrics

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 that feeling That something isn't right Seeing your brother's fists Clenched ready for the fight Soon the fighting turns to weapons And the weapons turn to wounds So the doctors 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 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 Shame
