Did you forget to grab your heart
When you left the house today
It lies beside your sympathy
What hatred you've displayed
Do you think you're something special
You're the only one that counts
Why did you roll your eyes again
You don't know what they're about
You pretend that they don't exist
If you look the other way
Instead of trying to understand
Lady all I have to say.................is
~~~*Chorus*~~~
It's a personal attack
Words that you can't take back
You don't think they understand
Well that's not true
Shame on you
These kids need a gentle touch
Compassion that's infused with love
You come in here with venom
And you turn it loose
Shame on you
~~*~~
That little boy sitting on the bench
With the dreamy distant stare
The quiet girl fighting hard to live
Gave cancer her pretty hair
That sweet girl, with green eyes and curls
She was born without a smile
Well those of us, with empathy
Adore every precious child
You walk in here, with your disdain
Shudder while you speak out loud
Say you're not waiting, in here, with them
So you'll see the doctor now................Well,
~~~*Chorus*~~~
It's a personal attack
Words that you can't take back
You don't think they understand
Well that's not true
Shame on you
These kids need a gentle touch
Compassion that's infused with love
You come in here with venom
And you turn it loose
Shame on you
~~*~~
If you really want to know what's sad
There's pureness shining through
You're the serpent in the nest
But your victims pity you
Now take your heartless self on home
And forget what they've been through
I've labeled you as ruthless
They don't
Shame on you
Oh.........
Oh.........
Shame on you!
