It's Such a Shame
Once upon a time when it all seemed kind of strange
Once upon a time when the land it had no stains
Here we are now and we all let go of the reins
Watching round the world while it all goes up in flames
No one seems to care if their neighbour is cast away
No one seems to care if the helpless get betrayed
Hey now brother
Hey now sister
Hey we're all to blame
It's such a shame
Driving down the highway heading to Monterey
Smoke in the air and the skies are turning gray
Workers in the road their clearing off all the land
Will we understand that we all have blood on our hands
I'm telling you friend we really ought to know
We're the ones that killed the winters and the snow
People burning all the candles at both ends
Folks stand around just looking right through the lens
No one seems to care if your neighbour is cast away
No one seems to care if the helpless get betrayed
Once upon a time when the land was not our own
Now we're on the brink of facing just what we've sown
I'm telling you my friend we really ought to know
We're the ones that killed the winters and the snow
