It’s a Shame (Mt. Airy Groove)

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo, Flash, this time cut it in mellow [Verse 1] Hey teacher (What?) Talk to me (About what?) Peace (There is no peace) Why? (Who wants to know?) We do ('Cause men love money) Why? (Greed) Why not share? (Hell no) Why? (Why not?) 'Cause to share shows that you care for everybody [Pre-Chorus] It's a shame that all people Won't stick together Don't they know that deep inside We need each other? (Don't you know we need each other? Yeah) There are places in our world Where kids are starving (There are places where kids are starving, baby) Don't you know they should not starve 'Cause they're the future (Are they really the future?) Yeah, well, cut it up Flash [Chorus] It's a shame (The way they treat those people is wrong, man, it's wrong) It's a shame (The world won't get no better) It's a shame (Everybody's goin' through changes, huh) It's a shame, it's a dirty, dirty world [Verse 2] Hey, preacher (What?) Talk to me (About what?) Hope (There is no hope) Why? (Who wants to know?) We do ('Cause men are greedy) Why? (Money) Why not share? (Hell no) Why? (Why not?) 'Cause to share shows that you care for everybody [Pre-Chorus] It's a shame that men at war Won't stop the fighting (Why won't they stop the fighting, baby?) Don't you know they should not fight 'Cause they are dying (Lots of men are dying, baby) There are places in our world Where bombs are dropping (Bombs are droppin' all over) Even though they know it's wrong They'll never stop it (Will they ever stop it?), no, hit it, Flash [Chorus] It's a shame (May God bless all of the children) It's a shame (The world won't get no better) It's a shame (And everybody's playing the same old game) It's a shame (Uh), it's a dirty, dirty world
