Say listen, everybody knows that we don't
Generally sing about religion
But we thought that this was a story that had to be told
For there is a message here for everybody
Whether you're young or old
Shame on the world
Shame on the World
Jesus is coming again yes He is
Shame on the world
I saw fear on the old woman's face
As I passed by I caught it in her eyes
As she held on to her purse her eyes said (shame)
Mister oh mister I'm scared (he's coming)
Please don't do me hurt
No no, I explained
I said Shame on the world
Jesus is coming again yes He is
Shame on the world
Tomorrow I'm gonna work hard all day (shame)
But what am I gonna buy tell me? (he's coming)
With my ticket he paid?
There just was a man (shame)
He done gone insane (he's coming)
And it won't be long (shame)
Before there's soup lines again
There's no time for conversation
Everybody Is in a rush
There's all kinds of false information
Come on can anybody tell me what's what
Come on and tell me. Shame
Shame on the world
Jesus is coming again yes he is
Shame on the world
Jesus Jesus is coming again
What are we gonna buy with no money?
