Shame - Dougie MacLean

Shame, shame, on you ruthless self made man

You’ve loaded your ambitions upon the children of this land

And shame, shame, on your great eternal plan

It’s your own diseased direction you’ll get there any way you can

But we can see you now

You can’t fool all the people

And we don’t believe you now

You can’t fool all the people all the time

Shame, shame, you see our lives a market place

We’re all consumer units in your greedy little race

And shame, shame, on your vision of our life

Your friends are carved with conquest upon the handle of your knife

But we can see you now

You can’t fool all the people

And we don’t believe you now

You can’t fool all the people all the time

Shame, shame, on your cool stock city guile

You’re pressed into your business suit and you’re polished to your smile

And shame, shame, on your brute dishonesty

You manipulate the numbers but don’t intend to set them free

But we can see you now

You can’t fool all the people

And we don’t believe you now

You can’t fool all the people all the time
