Shame I Know

[Verse 1]
He's a law unto himself, that child
What can we do about him?
He's been wearin' us down
And we could do without him
A shame, I know
There's really nothin' to say
He's not gonna change any minds anyway
He'll have to go

[Chorus]
Maybe he's sick and tired of this design
Something's broken, goes to show
A sign of the times, our own demise
But maybe he knows somethin' we don't
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
He should listen to himself next time
He should embrace the silence
What does it mean to you?
What could it signify if
He celebrates the violence?
A shame, I know
There's really no one to blame
I've nothin' to say, not for now anyway
It's just how it goes

[Chorus]
Maybe we step outside and breathe a while
The door is open, you can go
Look yourself in the eyes, there you'll find what
You need to know, from there you could grow
You're sick and tired, oh my my
Nothin' is broken, left alone
You'll drift away with the tide, free your mind
'Cause maybe he knows something you don't
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm
