What A Shame Lyrics - The Sound Of Madness - Shinedown

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 gray 

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 said could barely stand 

There's got to 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? 

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 

Much a broken heart can break the sound 

And change the seasons 

Now the leaves are falling faster 

Happily ever after 

You gave me hope through your endeavors 

And now you will live forever 

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) 

'Cause we're not all the same
