Shame shame shame!
Shame shame shame!

When you start with a bad name, it can only get worse
When you try to do the right thing, you're bound to get burned

The checks that you write to me are larger every year
But when it's all said and done, they don't seem to pay the bills
How can you put a price tag on a good life vaporized
Better ask yourself and then ask yourself again,
what is wrong and what is right
Shame shame shame!
Shame shame shame!

God was a soldier tell you what I mean
cause only a devil dog could improvise such an awful thing

And Jesus was a demon
you wanna know how I know
cause a father and a holy spirit
would never let that little boy go

The checks that you write to me got more zeros every year
But when it's all said and done, they don't seem to pay the bills
How can you put a price tag on a good life vaporized
Better check yourself better check yourself again,
before someone sets you right

I'm a fire truck, I'm a little red bike
trailing my hose behind
I love the thrill if I abhor all the killings I see
They keep telling me this world doesn't need
is another soldier coming home with half a brain
But Reverend McKay sends his girls to the front just the same
They keep telling me what this world don't need
is another solo painted on after the bridge

The war is the bridge!

Put your hands together
for the greatest oaf in the room
Don't know much, don't got much to answer to, yeah right
He's just trying to do the best he can do
Can't we find a little peace and love in this world
Why can't nobody tell the truth?
We just want to live together
Well don't you
