|
The city's burning with desire |
|
High-heeled chicks turnin' tricks in a trance |
|
Pin-stripe zombies on fire |
|
Sayin' hey baby, here's a dime for a dance |
|
(out on the street) |
|
I see innocent faces in the rain |
|
(out on the street) |
|
I see make-up runnin' down from tears of pain |
|
Down the drain |
|
Shame |
|
Now mama tell it like it is |
|
It's a shame |
|
For what papa did |
|
It's a shame |
|
Your sister should've told you so |
|
It's a shame |
|
'cause nobody wants to know |
|
The neon moon turns red around midnight |
|
Junior junkies and runaway girls |
|
Blue eyed babies posing in the headlights |
|
Another stray cat in a dog eat dog world |
|
(out on the street) |
|
Ain't no room for no cheap talkin' prayer |
|
(out on the street) |
|
You don't know what it's like 'till you're there |
|
And you're runnin' scared |
|
Shame |
|
Now mama tell it like it is |
|
It's a shame |
|
The way papa hurt his kid |
|
It's a shame |
|
Your sister should've told you so |
|
It's a shame |
|
C'mon man let her go |
|
So young |
|
Yet so old |
|
So hard to find a friend |
|
She lives from lover to lover |
|
'till there's nothing left of her |
|
Yeah sweet daddy scores again |
|
Shame |
|
Now mama tell it like it is |
|
It's a shame |
|
The way papa hurt his kid |
|
It's a shame |
|
Your sister should've told you so |
|
It's a shame |
|
C'mon man let her go |
|
The world should've let you know |
|
C'mon man let her go |
|
Shame on the school |
|
Shame on the teacher |
|
Shame on those sticky little fingers all over that helpless creature |
|
Shame on the parish |
|
Shame on the preacher |
|
From where he stands that man don't have half a chance to reach her |
|
Shame shame shame |
|
On me and you |
|
Shame shame shame |
|
Now what are we goin' to do |
