Lyrics What a Shame - Classics of Love

What a Shame

Send in the young and the poor
To fight against the shadow hordes
Let our officers be the sons of the lords, veterans of foreign wars
Slogans wipe the memory of the last catastrophe
They keep saying its the way things are
All they want is just a little bit more
We went walking but we didn’t get far
We got caught in the revolving door
Settle, settle your debts give your money to the mission
All cash given to sustain armaments will be paid in supervision
Words are coming through the arch
Signaling the suckers' march
They keep saying its the way things are
All they want is just a little bit more
We went walking but we didn’t get far
We got caught in the revolving door
What a shame
I was watching when the cast took a bow
When the news broke about the war
Then they turned all their showtunes to the anthems
And they sealed off the exit doors
Beat your ploughshares into swords
Watch the bombs drop watch the rewards
Where do they go?
If not the houses of the ones who made the show?
They keep saying its the way things are
All they want is just a little bit more
We went walking but we didn’t get far
We got caught in the revolving door
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame!
