Lyric Ain t It a Shame

(Graham Russell)

Hit with the bug to run, you didn t go to college we can use you son
You look like the pride of your home town
But how can you hold out when your luck is down

(Chorus)
Ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame.
Because I m too tired to run around
Meeting people from the wrong side of town
Looking for a place to live, I ve got no money nothing to give, listen
All you gotta do is look around for something that s new
find a job that s stimulating, that s easy and I m still waiting


(Chorus)
I ve stood in line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
I ve stood in line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day,
I ve stood in line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
I ve stood in line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day, nothin to say all day.
Got brains but got no drive
Money s cheap, the roads are wide
All the good positions go too fast
I need a job I know will last
I ve got a job for you can you push that shovel can you swing that broom
Keep your head down and don t go slow
But don t forget to stop with the whistle.
(Chorus)
