Lyrics

Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Streets are filled with violence Streets are filled with crime Every time you turn the radio on Bad news most of the time White race hating the black race Black race hating the white Ought to throw that race hate down Like in the gospel light Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Cold when the wind blows Leaves fall from the trees and rattle like bones One frozen pigeon taking off at the sun Into shadow while stories never get the job done Black bird sitting on a hot black wire Won't sing the song without a spark to fire Ragtag children huddle street gutter rivers Follow the sewers for something to do Politicians with a devil care smile Driving Cadillacs with a pocket full of style Clean sheets, strong doors Tied hard working whores Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? People are quitting the churches Some say God is dead My God cannot die The people are out of their head Talk about fighting and killing Shouldn't be thinking as such Got the whole world living in fear Because they're killing so much Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Got to chill because it ain't so bad People pushing, pulling, that's really sad Got to work for a relationship I know it sounds funny but a constant trip Being in love ain't easy Because the life you choose to lead is real That's why the tables are turning So you've got to come double prepared Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame Way the people do? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a shame?
