Shame

The earth felt cold until it burned red hot in my hands My eyes were truthful then, I was an ignorant man The way the bombs explode, the way it tore up their skin I was tryin' to spit, thought they were killing my friends And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent In their parents arms, the kids were falling apart Broken tiny bodies holding tiny still hearts There are myriad ways to destroy human skin Red flesh exposed raw over and over again And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent It stung hot in my eyes, the illusion of justice It burned deep in my face, felt unbearably selfish In my mind right now it's just horrible darkness Had to break away knowing no one can save us All tears flow from the same source The same source All tears flow from the same source The same source And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent Shame, shame Shame, shame
