Cryin’ Shame Songtext
von Donovan

Food in abundance
Beggars and banks
God in his heaven
And his priests in tanks
Gold in the misery
Sewer in the mind
Greed and corruption
Of every kind

They all know it′s a crying shame
To turn your heads, look away again
They all know it's a crying shame
To turn their heads, look away again


Fools in the parliament
Pollution in the stream
TV poverty
And the big bad dream
Sex in the cinema
Fear in the school
Censorship committees
They rule with cruel

But they all know it′s a crying shame
To turn your heads, look away again
Don't they all know it's a crying shame
To turn your heads, look away again

Don′t they all know it′s a crying shame
To turn their heads, look away again
They all know it's a crying shame
To turn your head, look away again

Composure in the little pill
Courage in the beer
Mummy and daddy
And the life of fear
Human relationships
Cast away
I hope we get together
One of these days


And we′ll all know it's a crying shame
To turn their heads, look away again
Don′t they all know it's a crying shame
To turn their heads, look away again

Don′t they all know it's a crying shame
To turn their heads, look away again
Don't they all know it′s a crying shame
To turn their heads, look away again
