Shame Is The Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Hey boy - are you happy to be
A dim-ass teen on the spree?
You get drunk all day
And you're sick all night
Is this the sum of your life?
What's your name, what's your name?
What's your dreams, your goals
Your ambitions and aims?
He laughed and said
Shame is the name
He said Shame is the name
Shame is the name
He said Shame is the name
Hey girl - are you happy to be
A dim-ass teen on the spree?
You get drunk all day
And you're sick all night
Is this all you was born for?
What's your name, what's your name?
What's your dreams, your goals
Ambitions and aims?
She laughed and said
Shame is the name
She said Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Politician - can you listen
To yourself for just once in your life?
Because there's something you said
To mean soldiers are dead
Because the money you save
Seniors are in their grave
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Shame is the name
Shame makes the world go around
Shame makes the world go around
Shame makes the world go around
Shame makes the world go around
