Cryin' Shame - Donovan

Food in abundance, beggars and banks

God in His Heaven and His priests in tanks

Gold in the misery, sewer in the mind

Greed and corruption of every kind

They all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn your head, look away again

They all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn your head, look away again

They all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn their heads, look away again

Fools in the Parliament, pollution in the stream

T.V., poverty and the big bad dream

Sex in the cinema, fear in the school

Censorship committees, they rule/we're cool

Don’t they all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn your heads, look away again

Don’t they all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn your heads, look away again

Don’t they all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn their heads, look away again

Don’t they all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn your heads, look away again

Composure in the little pill, courage in the beer

Mummy and daddy and the life of fear

Human relationships cast away

I hope we get together one of these days

And they all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn their heads, look away again

Don’t they all know it’s a cryin' shame

To turn their heads, look away again
