Art Rush - The Shame Of It All текст песни

Oh, it's the shame of it all
Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall

Dropped out of uni twice, dropped out of TAFE
What can I say? I just wanna be a singer
Every day I fight the devil
He has won too often and I'm getting my life back
My mojo is back and Nicole is a blessing
Tomatoes go red when they see salad dressing
And I would know, I see hundreds of tomatoes
Twenty hours a week; on average cause I'm casual
No more CBF just TCB,
All killer no filler lifelong guarantee
As I save my way towards the King
Look who steps into the ring

Oh, it's the shame of it all
Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall
What does the scanner see, what is his fantasy
What does the scanner see, dreams or reality

I went to uni and TAFE so when people asked what I do I could give an answer that sounded respectable and not be embarrassed and to be honest that's all about uni and TAFE that I miss
And when you get wrapped up in what other people think
You walk a lonely street, you walk a lonely street
Michael Jackson died halfway through the first Top Ryde album I did, I realised I wasn't a kid anymore
And everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta go fulltime
So I walked a lonely street for a while
to the OK to Cry Corral
But now I just do my thing
And look who's come to take another swing
To take another swing

Oh, it's the shame of it all
Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall
What does the scanner see
Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley
Simple things appear hard
Do you have an Everyday Rewards Card

Everyday I fight the devil but I'm not alone
I have a heart, I'm flesh and bone
I sample my own beats, I shun the lonely streets
But I must admit despite my pride
I dread when I meet someone new
and they ask me what I do
And guess who comes knockin'

Oh, it's the shame of it all
Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall
What does the scanner see
What does the scanner see
