Crass - What A Shame Lyrics






It doesn't take much to bring you down.
There are plenty of people standing round.
They wait till you slacken off just a bit.
Then they fill you up with passive bullshit.

It's too good.
It can't last.
What a shame.

Watch out for the quiet ones at the back.
All they want is the smallest crack.
Everything's happening down the front.
Innocent bystander you're the biggest runt.

Fuck the punks.
Punks are fucked.
It's too loud.
Awful row.
They can't play.
They'll give up.
In the end.
What a shame.

Oh! what a shame!
Oh! what a shame!
It's still the same,
That's what you think.

Watch out for the quiet ones at the back.
All they want is the smallest crack.
Everything's happening down the front.
Innocent bystander you're the biggest runt.

We all now,
It's so bad,
But we say so.
What a shame.

Crass What A Shame Comments
  1. P.... E....

    It's a shame that punk rock ended up getting filled with puritans with green hair and the far left inquisition. It's almost impossible for most that have a weak will of their own to be a punk and keep their own individually, they end up as nothing more than politically correct fools. "Big A little A bouncing B the far left inquisition might have got you but it will never get me"

    very much 'of their time', and were about much more than music I'm sure - but they weren't very good at all, were they?

    J.... M....

    were very good at their time they focus on KGB,etc + with the start of Crass band they started the anarcho-punk movement that punk needed a lot and they helped a lot of punk bands from uk when they had a record label,bands like :,Rudimentary Peni,Poison Girls,Honey Bane,Mob,Dirt, and more.If you didn't get the anarcho-punk movement then i guess that's why you said they weren't very good at all

    J.... M....

    I would certainly disagree with your opinion when relating it to a pure musical analysis. They were good, in their rough sounding style
