One Hell of a Shame

[Intro: Nu Breed]
Man, it's one hell of a shame
What this world's come to
Where things are these days
I really miss them good old boys
You know, from the good old days
I know you can remember
Nu Breed, Jesse Howard, yeah
Outlaw Nation, come on

[Chorus: Jesse Howard]
I miss them good old boys
From the good old days
When we used to give a damn about being a man
But Lord, those times have changed
Y'all wanna bitch and moan
And no one wants to do a thing
I watch this country fall to pieces
And man, it's a hell of a shame, one hell of a shame

[Verse 1: Jesse Howard]
My granddaddy used to farm this land
Sweat running down his brow
He did what it takes just to make us safe
And boy did he make us proud
I used to help my granddaddy plough the fields
'Cause he said it'll make me a man
He told me when I shoot, I better shoot to kill
And he taught me how to live off the lane
He worked his hands down to the bone
All the way 'til his dying days
And I remember way back then
And I can still hear him say

[Chorus: Jesse Howard]
I miss them good old boys
From the good old days
When we used to give a damn about being a man
But Lord, those times have changed
Y'all wanna bitch and moan
And no one wants to do a thing
I watch this country fall to pieces
And man, it's a hell of a shame, one hell of a shame

[Verse 2: Nu Breed]
We used to pray in school and pledge allegiance
Now they changed all the rules so they could take away our Jesus
Take away our truth for this bullshit they feed us
As they feed us to the wolves and all these crooks that take our freedoms
And many men and women have died overseas
Spilled blood for you and me so I would never take a knee
You could try to take my guns but many men will side with me
And when that day comes, many men will ride with me
What gives you the right to tell us what to say?
And tell us what to believe in and tell us we can't pray?
What gives you the right to take our rights away?
Somebody's gonna pay (Yeah) or some shit better change
We're that red, white and blue, America had its finest
In them small towns and backwoods, that's probably where you'll find us
While that sky's still blue and that sun's still shining
We gon' keep pushing through with all the real ones behind us

[Chorus: Jesse Howard]
I miss them good old boys
From the good old days
When we used to give a damn about being a man
But Lord, those times have changed
Y'all wanna bitch and moan
And no one wants to do a thing
I watch this country fall to pieces
And man, it's a hell of a shame, one hell of a shame
