So many things going on,
so much shh going on,
so much foulness in the world
Can make the strongest soul even sick to hurl
Questioning even bringing in a boy or girl
I'd rather throw my hands up to the sky
Than point a finger and blame either you or I
In solitude I'm walking down the stormy lane
Clothes getting wet with rain
Soul getting drenched in shame
If I'm part of a dance party with all my dancing shoes
And everybody dancing on my back feet
Shame on me
If I'm hurting my business just doing the right thing
In the street shame on you
If a family's waiting for that special person to come their way
But they ain't trying to get on their knees and pray
Shame on them
And if we're living in a time where
every nation's fighting around the world
Yet we can all agree that peace is the way
Shame on us
If it ain't shame on us
Shame on me
If my children are playing outside like little
children do And you come around the town to bring them
some harm Shame on you
Should I be driving to a turned down funny
restaurant to get me some food And someone
says hey boy wait a minute so you can Shame on them
And if we're living our democracy and you
didn't use your power to vote Then would someone
like to turn back the hands of time Shame on us
Shame on me Shame on you
Shame on them Shame on us
Shame on me Shame on you
Shame on them Shame on us
So what the * Somebody can't hold
my hand and show me which way to go
Somebody can't understand that no means no
If I can't understand myself and realize my goals
Shame on me We can't reprimand ourselves for all the world's woes
Shame on we And what's the fuss
If it ain't shame on them
Shame on me Shame on you
Shame on them Shame on us
Shame on them Shame on us
So what the *
Shame on me Shame on you
Shame on them Shame on us
