So What The Fuss?
If I'm caught at a dance party without my dancin shoesAnd everybody dances on my bare feetShame on meIf I'm mindin my business just doin the right thingAnd you try to front me off in the streetShame on youIf a family's waiting for that special blessing tocome their wayBut they ain't tryin to get on their knees and prayShame on themAnd if we live in a time where every nation's fightin'round the worldYet we can't all agree that peace is the way
Shame on usShame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on usSo what the fuss
If I gotta get up early in the morning for a jobinterviewAnd I forget to set the stupid alarmShame on meIf my children are playin outside like little children doAnd you come 'round there tryin to bring them some harmShame on youShould I be drivin thru a klantown, find a restaurantto get me some foodAnd someone says "hey boy, we don't serve your kind"Shame on themAnd if we live in a democracy and you don't use yourpower to voteKnowin some would like to turn back the hands of time
Shame on usShame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on usSo what the fuss
If I'm hooked on a habit knowin damn well it couldcost me my lifeYet I keep doin what I should do withoutShame on meIf you're locked in a marriage and your other halfjust gives you abuseYet you've convinced yourself that there's no way outShame on youIf we're jammin the music and somebody's got theaudacityTo say that they can jam it better than usShame on themAnd should there be just a handful that believe thatwe are totally freeAnd there's no need to fight for equality
Shame on usShame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on usSo what the fuss
