Well the trickle down effect is just a sham
it's such a shame, shame, shame.
Look a little closer, you'll see one huge dam,
it's such a shame, shame, shame.
Chorus:
Oh yeah it's such a shame,
things turned out this way,
what ya gonna do about it?
Well it's a shame,
that you feel this way,
that nothing can be done about it!
Oh no, this is the real pornography.
Children are sleeping on our city streets,
it's such a shame, shame, shame,
they get everywhere they get under your feet,
it's such a shame, shame, shame.
Chorus.
You confess you know nothing 'bout what’s crippling this land,
but then you go and vote for things that you don't understand.
I feel I'm Frank Owen as I explain the plan,
but you look at me as if I'm mad.
Justice is a pimp fining the women of the night,
it's such a shame, shame, shame,
now the pressure's on the girls to do a little overtime,
it's such a shame, shame, shame,
Chorus.
