If I'm caught at a dance party without my dancin shoes
|
And everybody dances on my bare feet
|
Shame on me
|
If I'm mindin my business just doin the right thing
|
And you try to front me off in the street
|
Shame on you
|
If a family's waiting for that special blessing to
|
come their way
|
But they ain't tryin to get on their knees and pray
|
Shame on them
|
And if we live in a time where every nation's fightin
|
'round the world
|
Yet we can't all agree that peace is the way
|
|
Shame on us
|
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
|
[repeat]
|
So what the fuss
|
|
If I gotta get up early in the morning for a job
|
interview
|
And I forget to set the stupid alarm
|
Shame on me
|
If my children are playin outside like little children do
|
And you come 'round there tryin to bring them some harm
|
Shame on you
|
Should I be drivin thru a klantown, find a restaurant
|
to get me some food
|
And someone says "hey boy, we don't serve your kind"
|
Shame on them
|
And if we live in a democracy and you don't use your
|
power to vote
|
Knowin some would like to turn back the hands of time
|
|
Shame on us
|
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
|
[repeat]
|
So what the fuss
|
|
If I'm hooked on a habit knowin damn well it could
|
cost me my life
|
Yet I keep doin what I should do without
|
Shame on me
|
If you're locked in a marriage and your other half
|
just gives you abuse
|
Yet you've convinced yourself that there's no way out
|
Shame on you
|
If we're jammin the music and somebody's got the
|
audacity
|
To say that they can jam it better than us
|
Shame on them
|
And should there be just a handful that believe that
|
we are totally free
|
And there's no need to fight for equality
|
|
Shame on us
|
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
|
[repeat]
|
So what the fuss
|
