Shame On You Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
My friends they wash the windows
And they shine in the sun
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
See what a beautiful job we've doneI say let's put on some tunes
Sing a long and do little all day
Go down to the riverside, take off our shoes
And wash these sins awayAnd the river said
"La, la, la"
It said
"Shame on you"

And the river said
"La, la, la"
It said
"Shame on you"I go down to Chicano City Park
'Cause it makes me feel so fine
And when the weeds go down you can see up close
In the dead of the winter timeBut when the summer comes everything's in bloom
And you wouldn't know it's there
And the white folks like to pretend it's not
But their music's in the airAnd you can hear 'em singing
"La, la, la"
They said
"Shame on you"
You can feel 'em dancing
"La, la, la"
They said
"Shame on you"My friend Tanner, she says you know
Me and Jesus we're of the same heart
The only thing that keeps us distant
Is that I keep fuckin' upI said come on down to Chicano City Park
And wash your blues away
The beautiful ladies walk right by
You know I never know what to sayAnd they'll be singing
"Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la"
"Shame on you"
And they'll be dancing
"La, la, la, la"
They said
"Shame on you"
"Shame on you"Let's go road block trippin' in the middle of the night
Up in Gainesville town
There'll be blue lights flashin' down the long dirt road
When they ask me to step outThey say we've been looking for illegal immigrants
Can we check your car?
I say you know it's funny
I think we were on the same boat back in 1694And I said, "Hey, hey
Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la"
"Shame on you"
They'll be dancing
"La, la, la"
I said
"Shame on you"I said
"Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la"
"Shame on you"
"Shame on you, la, la"
"La, la, la, la, la, shame on you"I said, I said
"La, la, la, shame on you"
I'll be dancing
And they'll be singing
"La, la, la", I said
"Shame on you"
"Shame on you"(Road block trippin in the middle of the night)
(Gainesville town)
(Blue lights flashin down the long dirt road)

The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.

Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game". With this release, they secured the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present; they had first approached him when the EP album was released, but he told them their songs were "immature" and they were not likely to get a record deal.

They were signed to Epic Records in 1989 and won the Grammy for best contemporary folk album later that year (for their self titled release) Some of their hit songs include "Galileo," "Closer to Fine," and "Shame on You."

Aside from being musicians, Ray and Saliers are activists, constantly supporting causes like gun control, women's rights, Native American rights, environmental protection, the abolition of the death penalty, and as lesbians themselves, LGBT rights. They constantly devote their time and money to such causes, often playing benefit concerts.

Ray and Saliers both have side projects. Ray owns and founded Daemon Records, an independent label based in Decatur. She also has a career as a solo artist, and has released two albums thus far. Saliers is the part owner of Watershed, a restaurant and wine bar in Decatur.

Together, the Indigo Girls are constantly touring. Their new album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, was released March 24, 2009.
