What a Shame - Classics of Love

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!
