shame

Patrick Watson

There was a time
Where our years just felt alive
Well the world started to change
And it never quite felt the same

And the sky turned to fire
And the people cried oh why, ooh
So they (looked) far and wide
When the answer was in front of their eyes

Little children started to cry, ooh
Screaming mama and papa, ooh why
So they told them a lie
Just to silence

And the people started to die
With their hands (tilted)
They ve been waiting for the moment
Before they fall down dead

Singing ooh what a shame (shame, shame, shame)
OOh what a shame
OOh what a shame (shame, shame, shame)
OOh what a shame

What a shame, what a shame
Ooh, la-la-la, what a shame
What a shame
