River Of Shame Lyrics

You proclaimed your love one September day

All you had were good things to say

Your vow is etched in my mind

Like the words of no other kind

Without a reason, you went on your way

There's no need to call out your name

Dip your head in the river of shame

Dip your head in the river of shame

You use your office to sell off your name

To all those people who play the game

Your friends spread out the goods

Throughout the neighbourhoods

And line your pockets, for the sake of your gain

In the evening I pray for our daughters and sons

To rise above the darkness to come

Your pews are empty like your homilies

That's why they burn you in effigy

Without meaning in your words

You know the truth can never be heard

You are nothing now, just a fantasy

There's no need to call out your name

Dip your head in the river of shame

Dip your head in the river of shame

There's no need to call out your name

Just dip your head in the river of shame

There's no need to call out your name

Just dip your head in the river of shame

Oh the river of shame, ooooh, the river of shame
