Indigo Girls - Shame on You Lyrics

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 done

I say let's put on some tunes
Sing along and do little all day
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes
And wash these sins away

And 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 time

But 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 air

And 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' up"

I 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 say"

And they'll be singing
"Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, shame on you"
And they'll be dancing
"Ooh, 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 out

They 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 1694"

And I said, "Ooh, la, 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
