It's a Shame

The odds are stacked on loaded bones The rich feed off the poor One last drag on a cigarette It will take much more To rid yourself of envy And escape this world of sin To kid yourself you're someone else And you're destined for a win And it's a shame Oh it's a crying shame You've been numbered by your days It's shame Oh it's a crying shame You got lost within that haze Below the concrete towers A suburban broken dream Behind the drug fuelled cries for help Lays a voice that dare not scream We waste away the hours Oh so patient cap in hand For the remnants of that high rise hope Now worn away to sand And it's a shame Oh it's a crying shame You've been numbered by your days It's a shame Oh It's a crying shame You got lost within that haze Break the ice with one night stands And kid yourself you're free Waiting on that one last dance Like it's somehow meant to be If you wanna cry that's fine by me I won't let those tears flow for all to see If you wanna cry that's fine by me I won't let those tears flow for all to see And it's shame Oh it's a crying shame You've been numbered by your days It's shame Oh it's a crying shame You got lost within that haze
