What a shame we never listened I told you through the television And all that went away was price we paid People a lifetime this way Oh what a shame.
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys R Us I wrote a letter in my mind, But the words were so unkind, About a man I can't remember don't recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time, Is this the sound of sweet surrender?
a shame we never listened I told you through the television And all that went away the price we paid People spend a lifetime this way And that's how they stay Oh! what a shame!
Words come easy, when they're true. Words come easy, when they're true.
