So What the Fuss

If I ＇m caught at a dance party

Without my dancin ＇shoes

And everybody dances on my bare feet

Shame on me

If I ＇m mindin ＇my business

Just doin the right thing

And you try to front me off in the street

Shame on you

If a family ＇s waiting for that

Special blessing to come their way

But they ain ＇t tryin ＇to get on

Their knees and pray

Shame on them

And if we live in a time where

every nation ＇s fightin ＇＇round the world

Yet we can ＇t all agree that peace is the way

Shame on us

Shame on me,

Shame on you,

Shame on them,

Shame on us

So what the fuss

If I gotta get up early in the morning

For a job interview

And I forget to set the stupid alarm

Shame on me

If my children are playin ＇outside

Like little children do

And you come ＇round there

Trying to bring them some harm

Shame on you

Should I be drivin ＇thru a klantown

Find a restaurant to get me some food

And someone says ＂hey boy,we don ＇t serve your kind

And if we live in a democracy

Shame on them

And you don ＇t use your power to vote

Knowin ＇some would like to turn back the hands of time

Shame on us

Shame on me,

Shame on you,

Shame on them,

Shame on us

So what the fuss

If I ＇m hooked on a habit

Knowin damn well it could cost me my life

Yet I keep doin what I should do without

Shame on me

If you ＇re locked in a marriage

And your other half just gives you abuse

Yet youve convinced yourself that there ＇s no way out

Shame on you

If we ＇re jammin the music

And somebody ＇s got the audacity

To say that they can jam it better than us

Shame on them

And should there be just a handful that believe

That we are totally free

And there ＇s no need to fight for equality

Shame on us

Shame on me

Shame on you

Shame on them

Shame on us

So what the fuss
