Shame On You

My friends they wash the windows And they shine in the sun They tell me, "Wake up early in the morning sometime See what a beautiful job we done" I say, "Let's put on some tunes Sing along and Doolittle all day" Go down to the riverside, take off our shoes And wash these sins away The river said "La la la" It said, "Shame on you" The river said "La la la" It said, "Shame on you" I go down to Chicano city park Because it makes me feel so fine And when the weeds go down you can see up close In the dead of the winter time But when the summer comes everything's in bloom And you wouldn't know it's there And white folks like to pretend it's not But their music's in the air You can hear them singing "La la la" They said, "Shame on you" You can feel them dancing "La la la" They said, "Shame on you" My friend Tanner she says, "You know Me and Jesus we're of the same heart The only thing that keeps us distant Is that I keep fuckin' up" I said, "Come on down to Chicano city park And wash your blues away" The beautiful ladies walk right by You know I never know what to say And they'll be singing "Ooh la la la la la la la la, shame on you" And they'll be dancing Ooh la la la, they said, "Shame on you Shame on you" Let's go road block trippin' in the middle of the night Up in Gainesville town There'll be blue lights flashing down the long dirt road When they ask me to step out They say, "We be looking for illegal immigrants Can we check your car" I say, "You know it's funny I think we were on the same boat back in 1694" And I said "Ooh la la la la la la la la, shame on you" They'll be dancing La la la I said, "Shame on you" I said "Ooh la la la la la la la la, shame on you Shame on you, la la La la la la shame on you" I said I said "La la la shame on you" I'll be dancing (and they'll be singing) La la la I said, "Shame on you Shame on you" (Road block trippin' in the middle of the night) (Gainesville town (Blue lights flashing down the long dirt road) --- Shame on You - Indigo Girls
