Weatherman's callin' for rain tonight
Isn't that a shame?
Baseball season has just begun
I got tickets for the game
He says there's a storm in Africa
Some place I can't name
Rivers choked with bodies and and blood
Now isn't that a shame?

Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame

Boss says I gotta work overtime
Isn't that a shame?
Now all my plans for having fun
Are just going down the drain
While listening to the radio
On my coffee break
I heard them whisper genocide
Isn't that a shame?

Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame

The newspaper's filled with trouble and woe
Isn't that a shame?
How do you expect me to put the fires out
When the whole world is in flames?
besides I got problems here at home
enough to drive me insane
I wish you well but you're on your own
Isn't that a shame?

Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
