{subtitle: Depeche Mode - 'Construction Time Again' (83)}
(*){Hm}Do you ever get that feeling
When the {A}guilt begins to {E}hurt?
{Hm}Seeing all the children
{A}Wallowing in {E}dirt
{Hm}Crying out with hunger
{A}Crying out in {E}pain
{Hm}At least the dirt will wash off
{A}When it starts to {E}rain
(**){H}Soap won't wash {A}away your {H}shame
{comment: see (*)}
Do you ever get the feeling
That something isn't right?
Seeing your brother's fist
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
{comment: see (**)}
Surgery won't improve your pain
{comment: see (*)}
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid?
{comment: see (*)}
Do you ever get the feeling
That something can't be done?
To eradicate these problems
And make the people one
Do you ever get that feeling
Something like a nagging itch?
And all the while the doctors stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
{comment: see (**)}
Hope alone won't remove the stains (for shame)
{comment: see (*)}
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to five up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid?
