shame

• pink cream 69 sarkisi
  opened up my eyes and saw the sky
  over meadows where i lie
  then i heard the children cry
  in my sleep i saw a distant light
  it arose and left in flight
  then the shadows faded to white
  in the night
  
  why should everybody have to pay?
  shame on you, shame on me
  is there any place to hide away?
  blame it on humanity
  
  why should everybody have to pay?
  shame on you, shame on me
  will our children have a say?
  
  field of sand exposed under the sun
  where a river used to run
  would it ever be undone?
  hide the wounds that we tried to heal in time
  with our power so divine
  such an unforgiven crime
  such a crime
  
  why should everybody have to pay?
  shame on you, shame on me
  is there any place to hide away?
  blame it on humanity
  
  why should everybody have to pay?
  shame on you, shame on me
  will our children have a say?
  
  are you ready?
  it won't be long until we know
  are you ready, ready, ready?
  
  why should everybody have to pay?
  shame on you, shame on me
  is there any place to hide away?
  blame it on humanity
  
  why should everybody have to pay?
  shame on you, shame on me
  is there any place to hide away?
  blame it on humanity
  
  you should have known better...
