Depeche Mode - Shame lyrics
[Depeche Mode - 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 the 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)
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid?
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 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)
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid?
