Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What a shame
Nothing seems to be goin' right
What a shame
Nothing seems to be goin' right
It seems easy to me
That everything can be alright
[Verse 2]
What a shame
They always wanna start a fight
What a shame
They always wanna start a fight
Well, it scares me so
I could sleep in the shelter all night
Well, alright
[Verse 3]
What a shame
You all heard what I said
What a shame
Y'all heard what I said
You might wake up in the morning
And find your poor self dead
Written by: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger
