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...
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...
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 grey for every shade of blue,
That's the way that I see life,
If there was nothin' wrong
Then there'd be nothin' right.
To judge a life that you can't change

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?
I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing...
I finally know just what it means
To let someone in
To see the side of me
That no one does or ever will...
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing...
I finally know just what it means
To let someone in
To see the side of me
That no one does or ever will...
What a Shame - Shinedown
God forgive the hands that laid you down,
They never knew how, but your broken heart
Can break the sound,
And change the season,
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...
They never knew how, but your broken heart
Can break the sound,
And change the season,
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 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...
