Lyrics

For every song penned to fight for a cause
And for every line written about not dropping bombs
There's a thousand times more written for love, hate, and greed
Those ones make me embarrassed to be

The guys that we choose to lead us each day
Spend all their time making sure that the gays
That they don't get their weddings and can't kiss in the streets
So the politicians make me embarrassed to be

There's addicts that spend all their money on dope
While their kids are neglected, they starve and lose hope
But if they try to get help, we won't show no mercy
And that attitude makes me embarrassed to be

Bombs went off in London killing dozens today
While thousands of Africans starve every day
But they're black so we won't see it shown on TV
So the media makes me embarrassed to be

There's men on the street begging for your change
And we walk right on by them living our lives the same
Say we can't spare a dime, assume they'll spend it on booze
Those actions make me embarrassed to be

Should I really be preaching and rambling on
And should people really care about what I think is wrong
Well I guess I'm a hypocrite, these words apply to me
But these things make me embarrassed to be
So why don't we change the things that we see
