[Intro]
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

[Verse 1]
Hang a left on the high road
See where it takes you
See where you take it
Take it high, take it low
With caution to the wind
And a drive-on wedding vow
Take it on to level it out
Smoke beats water anyhow

[Hook]
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

[Verse 2]
A fool's paradise
Meet the forgotten nightmare
See the light vanishing
Hear silence never ending
Hail to the century
See how it treats you
See how you treat it
21st century

[Hook]
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

[Chorus]
It’s a damn shame
It's a damn shame
It's a damn shame
It’s a damn shame

[Hook]
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

[Chorus]
It's a damn shame
It's a damn shame
It's a damn shame
It's a damn shame
