So What The Fuss

If I'm caught at a dance party without my dancin shoes

And everybody dances on my bare feet

Shame on me

If I'm mindin my business just doin the right thing

And you try to front me off in the street

Shame on you

If a family's waiting for that special blessing to

come their way

But they ain't tryin to get on their knees and pray

Shame on them

And if we live in a time where every nation's fightin

'round the world

Yet we can't all agree that peace is the way

Shame on us

Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us

[repeat]

So what the fuss

If I gotta get up early in the morning for a job

interview

And I forget to set the stupid alarm

Shame on me

If my children are playin outside like little children do

And you come 'round there tryin to bring them some harm

Shame on you

Should I be drivin thru a klantown, find a restaurant

to get me some food

And someone says "hey boy, we don't serve your kind"

Shame on them

And if we live in a democracy and you don't use your

power to vote

Knowin some would like to turn back the hands of time

Shame on us

Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us

[repeat]

So what the fuss

If I'm hooked on a habit knowin damn well it could

cost me my life

Yet I keep doin what I should do without

Shame on me

If you're locked in a marriage and your other half

just gives you abuse

Yet you've convinced yourself that there's no way out

Shame on you

If we're jammin the music and somebody's got the

audacity

To say that they can jam it better than us

Shame on them

And should there be just a handful that believe that

we are totally free

And there's no need to fight for equality

Shame on us

Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us

[repeat]

So what the fuss
