Shame On You lyrics

PLAY TIMBUK 3 Shame On You video Shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
shame on you, shame on you

You`ve always taken life in massive doses
Back when you were a child they said you were precocious
You were always doing something that you shouldn`t ought to do
And you never did the things that were expected of you

In school you were a troublemaker, always getting caught
Staying up on all the things the teachers never taught
Well, you`ve got a lot of nerve acting the way you do
You know, something`s going to bring a lot of shame on you

Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you, shame on you

Man, you could have had power and a hot position
Like a hotshot lawyer or a bigshot politician
You could have been the head of a major corporation
Instead you`re working part time at a filling station
Doing comedy on the side -- you`re really quite funny
But dude, don`t you know you could be making big money?

Shame on you -- you haven`t got a dime
Shame on you -- for having such a good time
Shame on you -- you`re a disgrace to everyone
Shame on you -- you`re having too much fun
Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you, shame on you

Well, I remember that producer down in Hollywood
Who came to hear you play, and said you were good
It was your one big break --
If you only would have played your cards a little smarter
By now you`d have it made -- your own TV show, or recording contract!
And all you had to do was lighten up your act!
A stairway to the stars -- a one-way ticket
But you, you had to go and tell him where he could stick it

Shame on you -- you could have been on TV
Shame on you -- you have too much integrity
Shame on you -- you should have kept the door open
Shame on you -- you`re just too outspoken

Shame on you -- you haven`t got a dime
Shame on you -- for having such a good time
Shame on you -- you`re a disgrace to everyone
Shame on you -- you`re having too much fun
Shame on you -- you`re having too much fun
Shame on you -- you`re having too much fun
