Sell your soul and try to live
Taking more than there is to give
Understand but what's the use
No time is another excuse
Keep the money when the gavel falls
In the sacred name of justice for all
REFRAIN:
And it's a shame, shame, don't you feel the shame?
It's a shame, shame, don't you feel the shame?
It's a shame, shame, shame
Dignity is torn apart
Sacrifice for a broken heart
Paper flies so indiscreet
Teardrops fall to kiss the street
Won't change don't want to try
People down here are just trying to get by
REFRAIN
Pound of flesh to pay a price
Shadow falls on paradise
Take a stand then take a look
Belly full as a pocketbook
Spilled wine leaves a bitter taste
Small hands forever gonna feel the waste
