Crying Shame

I see some politician

Lying on TV

Says he knows just what it's like

To be like you and me

Swears he's got the answers

To all our hopes and dream

But that three-piece suit

It tells the truth

And that's the answer we don't need

It's a crying shame

The way this country's done gone up on flames

Is it just me

Or does gettin' by get harder every day

I'd love to see some good times

But they've all gone away

All that's left is one big mess

And that's a crying shame

There's people going hungry

And some can't pay the rent

It's hard to save a dollar

When your check's already spent

I hope and pray that some day soon

Some good luck comes our way

But life is tough

And the road is rough

I'll hope some other day

It's a crying shame

The way this country's done gone up on flames

Is it just me

Or does gettin' by get harder every day

I'd love to see some good times

But they've all gone away

All that's left is one big mess

And that's a crying shame

Preach on it

It's a crying shame

The way this country's done gone up on flames

Is it just me

Or does gettin' by get harder every day

I'd love to see some good times

But they've all gone away

All that's left is one big mess

And that's a crying shame
