Shame - Joan As Police Woman

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around

Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns

Hey, hey, I’m not here to be the sufferer

For the fears of all humankind

I’m here to sing and get up in your everything

I didn’t know it by sight but believe me

It was snarling at the essence of being alive

And I began to see my way out it looked easy

Just had to kick the double dealer out of my life

But it’s a cool player

A greater persuader

It worked me over

And I fell back down into shame

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around

Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns

Hey, hey, I’m not here to be the sufferer

For the fears of all humankind

I’m here to sing and get up in your everything

I reckoned all I had to do

Is start on the good foot

And I’d be on my way out of the zoo

But when I tried to put my good foot into it

I tripped up on the doubts I’d been dying to undo

I’m always on the run and I hate copy paste for god’s sake

Yeah it’s a dictator

A dirty space invader

It worked me over

And I fell back down into shame

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around

Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns

Hey, hey, I’m not here to be the sufferer

For the fears of all humankind

I’m here to sing and get up in your everything

What would I be without it

I might be so alone

But I could be free without it

I don’t need an evil twin

A spitting imagine, a Ms. Hyde

I don’t need

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around

Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns

Hey, hey, I’m not here to be the sufferer

For the fears of all humankind

I’m here to sing and get up in your everything

It’s time

I won’t be a part

Of double-crossing my heart

It’s time

Bring the future

It’s time

I won’t be a part

Of double-crossing my heart

It’s time

Bring the future…
