Ain't It A Shame

Hit with the bug to run,you didn't go to college we can use you sonYou look like the pride of your home townBut how can you hold out when your luck is downAin't it a shame, ain't it a shame,ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame.

Because I'm too tired to run aroundMeeting people from the wrong side of townLooking for a place to live, I've got no money,nothing to give, listen

All you gotta do is look aroundfor something that's newFind a job that's stimulating,that's easy and I'm still waitingAin't it a shame, ain't it a shame,ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame.

I've stood in the line and done my timeWith nothin' to do all dayI've stood in the line with all my friendsWith nothin' to say all day,I've stood in the line and done my timeWith nothin' to do all dayI've stood in the line with all my friendsWith nothin' to say all day, nothin' to say all day.

Got brains but got no driveMoney's cheap, the roads are wideAll the good positions go too fastI need a job I know will lastI've got a job for you, can you push a shovel can you swing that broomKeep your head down and don't go slowBut don't forget to stop with the whistle.

Ain't it a shame
