Album: Collected
Another crash
Some flashes pass me by
I grab my cash
Ten thousand people died
I pack my things, turn off the TV, then I run
My cab is waiting outside
Refugees hide
I tell him where to go War is near by It’s on the radio
No turning back
Were out of time is all I say
Bad traffic today
Chorus I Sometimes I wonder if I should have known better
That I allow myself to live this way
We’re denying all that really matters
I am ashamed of the world today
So ashamed to say that we should know better
A girl walks by Came here to build her life
She’s got no rights
Her heart is paralised
Her chances gone
I hope she didn’t hear me say
It’s a beautiful day
Chorus I mid 8
It’s so ironic when we talk about faith
To clear our conscience, try to compensate
For what is said and done
But we just go on So ashamed to say that we should know better
Chorus II
Sometimes I wonder if we should have known better
That we allow ourselves to live this way
We’re denying all that really matters
I am ashamed of the world today
So ashamed to say that we should know better
