Shame Songtext

von Joan as Policewoman

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around
Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything

I didn't know it by sight but believe me
It was snarling at the essence of being alive
And I began to see my way out it looked easy
Just had to kick the double dealer out of my life

But it's a cool player
A greater persuader
It worked me over
And I fell back down into shame

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around
Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything

I reckoned all I had to do
Is start on the good foot
And I'd be on my way out of the zoo
But when I tried to put my good foot into it
I tripped up on the doubts I'd been dying to undo
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Yeah it's a dictator
A dirty space invader
It worked me over
And I fell back down into shame

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around
Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything

What would I be without it
I might be so alone
But I could be free without it
I don't need an evil twin
A spitting imagine, a Ms. Hyde
I don't need

Shame, give me a reason to keep it around
Shame, 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything

It's time
I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time
Bring the future

It's time
I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time
Bring the future...
