Shameful House

"They left their homes said goodbye to wives Marched off to war risking their lives Stormed the beaches fought through the night So the world could be free from fascist might" "Shame shame on those who cheered For a man of hate they held so dear With claps that echoed through Parliament's halls They spat on the heroes who gave it their all" "I sat with men whose hands had grown weak But fire still burned when they tried to speak They told me of friends buried overseas Of battles fought so we could live free" "A Nazi stood in the chamber's light Where honor should live not shameful blight They gave him applause they smiled they stood- They praised a man whose hands dripped blood" "Shame shame on those who cheered For a man of hate they held so dear With claps that echoed through Parliament's halls They spat on the heroes who gave it their all" "Who unlocked the gate who let him in? Who thought the past could be washed of its sin? Did they forget the graves row by row Where silence speaks of what we owe?" "They scramble now to shift the blame Excuses thrown to dodge the shame But scars remain where truth was betrayed And we remember the price they paid" "Shame shame on those who cheered For a man of hate they held so dear With claps that echoed through Parliament's halls They spat on the heroes who gave it their all" "This song's for the ones who gave their best Who fought with courage and laid hate to rest We honor them now we honor them right With hearts that remember and eyes full of light"
