Lyrics
Words and music: amy ray
My friends they wash the windows they shine in the sun They tell me wake up early in the morning sometimes see what a beautiful job We've done I said, "let's put on some tunes, sing along, doolittle all day" Go down to the riverside take off our shoes and wash these sins away
The river said, "la la la shame on you" 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 wintertime 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 they're music's in the air
You can hear 'em singing la la la shame on you And you can feel 'em dancing la la la shame on you
My friend tanner she says, "y'know me and jesus we're of the same heart The only thing that keeps us distant is that I keep fuckin' up" Come on down to chicano city park and wash your blues away And when the beautiful ladies walk right by y'know I never know what to say to Them
And they say ooooh la la la la la la la la la shame on you And they'll be dancing la la la they say shame on you Shame on you
Let's go roadblock tripping in the middle of the night up in gainesville town There'll be blue lights flashing down the long dirt road when they ask me to Step out They say, "we're looking for illegal immigrants can we check your car?" I said, "it's funny I think we were on the same boat back in 1694"
And I said ooooh la la la la la la la la shame on you And they'll be dancing la la la they say shame on you And I said ooooh la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la I said shame on you And I said, I said, shame on you They'll be dancing la la la they said shame on you Shame on you
Roadblock trippin' in the middle of the night in gainesville town
