IT'S A CRYING SHAME
(Michael Mazzarella)

Everyday it's something new
Fairy tales of me and you
They think that they have it straight
But we know it's second rate
It's a crying shame

They can hide their little notes
(And it's never fun)
And laugh at their inside jokes
(I hear everyone)
We'll just turn the other way
(Laugh while they still can)
Never care what people say
It's a crying shame

It's always been the same
I always hear my name
It sometimes gets to me
What do they want from me?
So I just walk away
Hoping they'll go away
I'd like to speak my mind
But then I don't

It has never been much fun
(I don't want to know)
Standing out from everyone
(So I'd better go)
Always check to find a stare
(Laugh while they still can)
And they come from everywhere
It's a crying shame

Sometimes I won't go out
From fear I'll hear them shout
When whispers turn to screams
That's when it starts again
The paranoia game of being on display
I wish I could attack but I'm alone

I suppose the scene would change
If I were a famous name
Then they would accept the look
And have me sign their memory book
It's a crying shame
