What A Shame
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?


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 say could barely stand

There's gotta 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

But your 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, what a shame

'Cause we're not all the same

What a shame, what a shame

'Cause we're not all the same
