I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend 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-are-Us
I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind, about a man I can't remember
I don't recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time, is this the sound of sweet surrender?
What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was 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
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-are-Us
Now we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood then our youth.
What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend a lifetime this way
And that's how they stay
Oh what a shame.
People spend a lifetime this way
Oh what a shame
Such a shame, what a shame
What a shame we never listened I told you through the television And all that went away was the price we paid People spend 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-are-Us I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind, about a man I can't remember I don't recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time, is this the sound of sweet surrender? What a shame we never listened I told you through the television And all that went away was 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 So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-are-Us Now we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood then our youth. What a shame we never listened I told you through the television And all that went away was the price we paid People spend a lifetime this way And that's how they stay Oh what a shame. People spend a lifetime this way Oh what a shame Such a shame, what a shame Explain Request ×
