Air Supply Ain't It a Shame song lyrics

Hit with the bug to run,

you didn't go to college we can use you son

You look like the pride of your home town

But how can you hold out when your luck is down

Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame,

ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame.

Because I'm too tired to run around

Meeting people from the wrong side of town

Looking for a place to live, I've got no money,

nothing to give, listen

All you gotta do is look around

for something that's new

Find a job that's stimulating,

that's easy and I'm still waiting

Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame,

ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame.

I've stood in the line and done my time

With nothin' to do all day

I've stood in the line with all my friends

With nothin' to say all day,

I've stood in the line and done my time

With nothin' to do all day

I've stood in the line with all my friends

With nothin' to say all day, nothin' to say all day.

Got brains but got no drive

Money's cheap, the roads are wide

All the good positions go too fast

I need a job I know will last

I've got a job for you, can you push a shovel can you swing that broom

Keep your head down and don't go slow

But don't forget to stop with the whistle.

Ain't it a shame.
