They said you ain’t good enough
So realize that it will be tough
Now at last it’s time to rise
It shouldn’t need to be told twice
Now it’s just up to you
And there’s no substitute
Whoa, a badge of shame is hardly fair
Yeah, increasing pain, but I don’t care
Increasing pain, but I don’t care
Snatch at this one-time Opportunity
Reject the idol that you wanna be
Please accept this good advice
Take the load of sacrifice
Whoa, the badge of shame is hardly fair
Yeah, you’ll take the pain, but I don’t care
Take the pain
Play the game
The Bagde of Shame
Whoa, the badge of shame is hardly fair
Yeah, I raise your pain, but I don’t care
The same old game, but I don’t care!
Yeah, yeah
Don’t be afraid to admit
That you bury the fear of losing it
Simply have to break the rules
Cause you’re nobody’s fool
Let us believe, the time will show
Come on seize it - face it - now
You have been waiting for too long
There’s nothing more - that can go wrong
Whoa, my badge of shame is hardly fair
Yeah, increasing pain, but I don’t care
The same old game, but I don’t care! Yeah
Again the pain, but I don’t care
