With painted lips
Now there's a lifestyle
Everybody wants it
But it don't exist
And I said shame
In the dancehalls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you
Now there's a lifestyle
With fashion chic
Now there's a lifestyle
Everybody in it wants
To be elite
And I said
'You with your brand new shoes and
You with your greasy hair and
You with your mother's pride and poetry
Don't you want to feel the shame?"...
In the dancehalls
Can't you feel the shame?
And the TV
Can't you feel the shame?
We loved you...
Shame
In the dancehalls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you
At the Lido and the opera
Shame
At the races and the theatre
Shame
We loved you
And they said all we need is love
All we need is love
With the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
Day after day
Day after day
