Lyrics Shame - Live in Basel - Depeche Mode

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 and 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
Oh, shame

It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid?

Let's go
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Yeah
Thank you
