Shame

40 thousand pounds 40 thousand pounds in debt She can't pay her rent And I saw her when she wept Alone, alone, alone This is what it means to be grown Oh the waters filled with disease Foreign soldiers force civilians to their knees We all hear the same stories Of poverty, what a novelty Is this equality? So we'll live out our lives and we'll never make a change Cos we're born into privilege just the same Disaster on our Tv's What a shame, shame, shame On the streets, the hard concrete floor Well I gave him 50p but I know he needed more Mostly when I walk by I just ignore The other people say "You never know what they use it for" A six-course meal is served And all that's eaten is dessert And a family could eat for The cost of one guy's shirt But that's democracy That's the cost of honesty And I'm asking you how much is equality? So we'll live out our lives and we'll never make a change Cos we're born into privilege just the same Disaster on our TV's What a shame, shame, shame So we'll live out our lives and we'll never make a change Cos we're born into privilege, born into privilege We'll live out our lives and we'll never make a change Cos we're born into privilege, born into privilege We'll live out our lives and we'll never make a change Cos we're born into privilege, born into privilege Disaster on our Tv's What a shame, shame, shame
