       A
Do you ever get that feeling
          G               D
when the guilt begins to hurt?
A
Seeing all the children
G             D
wallowing in dirt

Crying out with hunger
crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
when it starts to rain

A
Soap won't wash away your shame

Do you ever get the feeling
that something isn't right?
Seeing your brother's fists
clenched ready for the fight

Soon the fighting turns to weapons
and the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctors stitch and stitch and stitch
and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

Surgery won't improve your pain

Chorus:
A
It all seems so stupid
    C                D
It makes me want to give up
      A
But why should I give up
        C              D
When it all seems so stupid?

Do you ever get the feeling
that something can be done
To eradicate these problems
and make the people one?

Do you ever get that feeling
something like a nagging itch?
And all the while the doctors stitch
and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

Hope alone won't remove the stains (Shame)
