Jeff Smith - Crying Shame

Oh Lord, why'd you give me a rebels soul
No one wants to hear the truth no more
They'd rather just not know

I'm tired of all the swimming
against the tide.
And the waves keep on crashing down on me
It's getting hard to do what's right.

They promised us change and better days,
but it's all for their greed
All for they're gain,
They're playing with our trust, like it's all a just a game.
What a crying shame

Now families are torn and lives a stake
But who gives a shit, raise the interest rates
For the glorious and the free
That once stood for you and me
And it was all done in vain so now we go down in flames
What a crying shame

Im just a sinner
I ain't no saint
We all could use some saving
Before we're judged at the gates

But it's hard to be faithful
When we're losing our home
From the land that we've walked on
To the seeds that we've sown

They promised us change and better days,
but it's all for their greed
All for they're gain,
They're playing with our trust, like it's all a just a game.
What a crying shame

Now families are torn and lives a stake
But who gives a shit, raise the interest rates
For the glorious and the free
That once stood for you and me
And it was all done in vain so we go down in flames
What a crying shame

A crying shame
It's a crying shame
And who's to blame
For this crying shame
Watch us all go down in flames
What a crying shame
