lyrics

The Shape I'm In

Thought you were dignified/ thought you were bonafide
And all that signified would be the best thing for everybody I
Thought you were on my side/ You took me for a ride
I know you always lied but
Tell me one thing tell me one thing tell me Heeeeey

What’s the matter with the shape I’m in
You hung me out to dry then hung me out again
Hey mister government I thought you were my friend
Now I’m in the shape I’m in

Forgive this ungratefulness
I wanna thank your holiness
For this unholy mess
And unholy praises sing
Thought you were on my side/ You took me for a ride
I know you always lied but
Tell me one thing tell me one thing tell me Heeeeey

What’s the matter with the shape I’m in
You knocked me down then you knocked me down again
Hey mister preacher man I thought you were my friend
Now I’m in the shape I’m in

Heey
What’s the matter with the shape I’m in
You hung me out to dry then hung me out again
Hey doctor lawyer man I thought you were my friend
Now I’m in the shape I’m in
What’s the matter with the shape I’m in
You knocked me down then You knocked me down again
Hey mister policeman I thought you were my friend
Hey mister politician thought you were my friend
Hey you-sual business man I thought you were my friend
Now I’m in the shape I’m in
Now I’m in the shape I’m in
Now I’m in the shape I’m in
