Depeche Mode



Construction Time Again



Shame





Shame















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 that 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
