Lyrics
Shame
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.
Get ready for the best time.
He's a friend of mine born in the '79.
'n' there will be a day when he hears me when I say:
hey, you better be thinking 'bout your future.
There will be a day when he hears me when I say:
you're spoiling your life, you won't have another.
You ain't thinking 'bout your friends, do you hear me
brother?
I have just one thing to say to you:
SHAME! (SHAME!) You can't fool me,
let me show that the whole thing sucks!
SHAME! (SHAME!) You can't rule me,
I'm saying no to the drugs!
Living is hard, sure I know, but yet
if you listen to my rule number one, I bet
positive attitude will carry you thru your life.
Think it thru before you take your first high.
One day you are a winner, next day you're a loser.
Don't spoil your chances by being a user.
I have just one thing to say to you:
SHAME! (SHAME!) You can't fool me,
let me show that the whole thing sucks!
SHAME! (SHAME!) You can't rule me,
I'm saying no to the drugs!
You can't fool me! You can't rule me!
