Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

She got married too young
He had a short fuse and a devil's tongue
Shattered her dreams one by one
Shame
He was a preacher in a small town
Took off with a widow on a rebound
Gossip travels at the speed of sound
Shame

All of us go crazy
Everyone gets hurt
Who's to say that you won't get your hands in the dirt?
Throwing stones as if you won't get your own judgement babe
Shame
Oh shame

She found comfort in a little pill
Tried to kick the habit but she never will
Now her kids go looking for the same thrill
Shame
There are bridges that I've only burnt
There are papers that I don't return
I've got lessons that I never learn

All of us go crazy
Everyone gets hurt
Who's to say that you won't get your hands in the dirt?
Throwing stones as if you won't get your own judgement babe
Oh shame

(Hey yeah yeah shame)
(Oh yeah)

Everyone's got secrets
Hidden deep inside
Funny how the truth cuts us all down to size

Oh we all share the sorrow
We all share the pain
Out of shame

Oh shame
Oh shame
Oh we all have blame
It's a shame
Yeah
