GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE
"It's A Shame"
(Lee Garrett / Stevie Wonder / Syreeta Wright)

Hey teacher!
-What?
Talk to me!
-About what?
Peace!
-There is no peace!
Why?
-Who wants to know?
We do!
-Cause men love money!
Why?
-Greed!
Why not share?
-I know.
Why?
-Why not?
'Cause to share shows that you care for ev'rybody!

[Refrain:]
It's a shame that all people won't stick together, don't they know that deep inside we need each other? There are places in our world, where kids are starving, don't you know they should not starve, 'cause they're the future!

Hey, preacher!
-What?
Talk to me!
-About what?
Hope!
-There is no hope!
Why?
-Who wants to know?
We do!
-Cause men are greedy!
Why?
-Money!
Why not share?
-I know.
Why?
-Why not?
'Cause to share shows that you care for evr'ybodey!

[Refrain 2:]
It's a shame that men at war won't stop the fighting, don't you know they should not fight, 'cause thy are dying! There are places in our world, where bombs are dropping, even though they know it's wrong, they'll never stop it!

It's a shame. It's a shame.
It's a shame. It's a shame.
It's a dirty, dirty world!
