Ain't It A Shame Lyrics

Well there's a hundred million people
Headed for the street tonight
And it's the hottest day of the year
The sun is just dripping from the sky
And the big black boots of the police
Are dying to stomp some sense into you
And isn't that a shame
You know it's a shame ain't it people

Ain't it a shame, boy
What's happening to our planet
Who do you blame, boy
Nobody understands it

Hey baby, I see you standing under neon lights
And you look so hot
The sweat's dripping down off the end of your hair
But your kicks ain't safe
You leave it to fate
You got a dangerous machine

Ain't it a shame, boy
What's happening to our planet
Who do you blame, boy
Nobody understands it

I said we...
We don't understand it
Do you understand it

Now the ozone's gone
And everybody's skin is bubbled or fried
The water you can't drink
Your mind don't think
A new disease will make you frown
And the police rod is sticking up so hard
Ready to beat you back down
And isn't it a shame
