v1:
Ain’t no shame in being ground down
Ain’t no blame to give the runaround
If you’re looking for a answer,
you should probably take it downtown
v2:
Don’t be worried ‘bout the doorways
If you hurry through the long days
You just might think it’s here to stay,
but it’s really just a passing phase
ch:
And we stumble through the play, unrehearsed
We mumble through the lines, chapter and verse
They tell us we’re the greatest, but we’re closer to the worst
v3:
When you close your eyes to sleep away
When you run to find the new day
Don't you stop to look inside yourself,
You're better off when you learn to pray
v4:
Lock the doors so you can feel safe
Start some wars so you can sow hate
If you plan to climb up on the cross,
are you sure that you can bear the weight
ch:
And we wander through the play, unrehearsed
We ponder all the lines, chapter and verse
They tell us we’re blessed, but we’re closer to the curse
Closer to the curse
v5:
Ain't no shame in hearing no sound
You take the blame for being ground down
