Capital Crimes

CAPITAL CRIMES. (Andrew Bird) [Verse 1] We’re a fine institution We’re using a test to decide Like some kind of sick solution Who should live and who should die [Interlude] Em (x8) [Verse 2] If I let go of your hand It would be murder     Standing backwards blindfolded At the top of the stair      And you may wonder if I I had assured her it’s a bird’s world Making figure eights All around the square         Let go of your hand      Stray from the laws of the land [Chorus] Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Desert oceans keep on widening It’s been this way since the Pleistocene Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        [Violin solo] Em (x4) [Chorus] Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Desert oceans keep on widening It’s been this way since the Pleistocene [Interlude] (x2) [Bridge] Capital crimes Nickels and dimes all across the floor Uh uh oh oh oh oh No vital signs oh oh You scored too high Now you walk the floor We’ll meet on that fatal shore     [Instrumental] Em (x4)    (x28) [Outro] Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?        Where’s the shame? Where’s the shame? Where’s the sense of shame?
