Art Rush - The Shame Of It All lyrics

Oh, it's the shame of it all Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall Dropped out of uni twice, dropped out of TAFE What can I say? I just wanna be a singer Every day I fight the devil He has won too often and I'm getting my life back My mojo is back and Nicole is a blessing Tomatoes go red when they see salad dressing And I would know, I see hundreds of tomatoes Twenty hours a week; on average cause I'm casual No more CBF just TCB, All k**er no filler lifelong guarantee As I save my way towards the King Look who steps into the ring Oh, it's the shame of it all Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall What does the scanner see, what is his fantasy What does the scanner see, dreams or reality I went to uni and TAFE so when people asked what I do I could give an answer that sounded respectable and not be embarra**ed and to be honest that's all about uni and TAFE that I miss And when you get wrapped up in what other people think You walk a lonely street, you walk a lonely street Michael Jackson died halfway through the first Top Ryde album I did, I realised I wasn't a kid anymore And everybody's gotta learn sometime Everybody's gotta go fulltime So I walked a lonely street for a while to the OK to Cry Corral But now I just do my thing And look who's come to take another swing To take another swing Oh, it's the shame of it all Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall What does the scanner see Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley Simple things appear hard Do you have an Everyday Rewards Card Everyday I fight the devil but I'm not alone I have a heart, I'm flesh and bone I sample my own beats, I shun the lonely streets But I must admit despite my pride I dread when I meet someone new and they ask me what I do And guess who comes knockin' Oh, it's the shame of it all Oh, it's the moment when their faces fall What does the scanner see What does the scanner see
