==LYRICS!==

Two packs of cigarettes a day
The strongest whiskey
Kentucky can make
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
On his hands and knees
I watched it all up close,
I knew him more than most
I saw a side of him he never showed
Full of sympathy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?

[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame

There's a hard life for every silver spoon
There's a touch of grey for every shade
Of blue
That's the way that I see life
If there was nothing wrong,
Then there'd be nothing right
And for this working man they say could
Barely stand
There's gotta be a better place to land
Some kind of remedy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?

[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame

God forgive the hands that laid you down
They never knew how, but your broken
Heart can break the sound
And change the season
Now the leaves are falling faster,
Happily ever after
You gave me hope through your endeavors
And now you will live forever

[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same

May I just take a second to thank all of you. For awhile now my comment has been at the top, and people keep thumbing it up. This isn't about getting a thumbs up, this is about keeping Michael alive by telling his story. Each time someone comes on here they see that comment, and every person who reads it thinks of him, for just a second, which in return keeps him alive. Thank you all for showing your appreciation and respect to a good man taken from this world way too soon.

@lovemyvedder Do you think people who do that go to Heaven? I pray so.. God forgive the hands that laid them down.. I am sorry for your loss.

[TripleKyu]

- Oh my god, Shinedown...

- What a shame.

It was a bad song. What a rotten way to sing it.

Love this

@17foofan What are you talking about?! I thought his story was incredible sad. I told off an asshole that told him to shut up about his story. Where the fuck are you getting all that from? I'm honestly deeply offended because this is completely uncalled for. I've only left one comment here and it was to stick up for the guy that told that story. You're the one that's being an asshole here because I never said anything negative to him, once. I suggest that you read better before commenting.

[17foofan]

@mistyfog24 you selfish fucking prick. its people like you who cant even have sympathy for something as terrible as the story that kid told from his heart that makes this world a shitty place to live in. if you cant say anything respectful for an disappointing event like that that dont say anything in the first place. Its not easy for someone to get over the fact that a loved one died. #classA Asshole

Deus ex brought me here
