Shame |
| Shame, shame, on you ruthless self made man |
| You’ve loaded your ambitions upon the children of this land |
| And shame, shame, on your great eternal plan |
| It’s your own diseased direction you’ll get there any way you can |
| But we can see you now |
| You can’t fool all the people |
| And we don’t believe you now |
| You can’t fool all the people all the time |
| Shame, shame, you see our lives a market place |
| We’re all consumer units in your greedy little race |
| And shame, shame, on your vision of our life |
| Your friends are carved with conquest upon the handle of your knife |
| But we can see you now |
| You can’t fool all the people |
| And we don’t believe you now |
| You can’t fool all the people all the time |
| Shame, shame, on your cool stock city guile |
| You’re pressed into your business suit and you’re polished to your smile |
| And shame, shame, on your brute dishonesty |
| You manipulate the numbers but don’t intend to set them free |
| But we can see you now |
| You can’t fool all the people |
| And we don’t believe you now |
| You can’t fool all the people all the time |
