  • Shame is the name
    Shame is the name
    Shame is the name
    Shame is the name

    Hey boy, are you happy to be
    A dim-ass teen on the spree?
    You get drunk all day
    And you're sick all night
    Is this the sum of your life?

    What's your name, what's your name?
    What's your dreams, your goals
    Your ambitions and aims?
    He laughed and said

    Shame is the name
    He said Shame is the name
    Shame is the name
    He said Shame is the name

    Hey girl, are you happy to be
    A dim-ass teen on the spree?
    You get drunk all day
    And you're sick all night
    Is this all you was born for?

    What's your name, what's your name?
    What's your dreams, your goals
    Ambitions and aims?
    She laughed and said

    Shame is the name
    She said Shame is the name
    Shame is the name
    Shame is the name

    Politician, can you listen
    To yourself for just once in your life?
    Because there's something you said
    To mean soldiers are dead
    Because the money you save
    Seniors are in their grave

    Shame is the name
    Shame is the name
    Shame is the name
    Shame is the name

    Shame makes the world go around
    Shame makes the world go around
    Shame makes the world go around
    Shame makes the world go around Writer/s: ALAIN GORDON WHYTE, STEVEN MORRISSEY, STEVEN PATRICK MORRISSEY
