"We Oughta Be Ashamed" lyrics

We oughta be ashamed (yes, we)
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name

See the blooming of flowers, oh, when spring first appears
And hear the crying of the baby in its first tender years
Watch the flight of the robin when he knows winter's through
And the one who made that robin is somewhere watching you

So we oughta be ashamed (yes, we)
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
Look at beauty, it's all around us
From California to Maine
Then think how we mistreat Him
Oh, we oughta be ashamed

Watch the people pass the beggar on the street as he cries
Pencils for a nickel, still they pass him by
And see the rich man with all his money, oh, but still he complains
Smell the flowing of all the whiskey, Lord, we oughta be ashamed

Yes, we oughta be ashamed (yes, we)
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse, oh, such a wonderful name
Look at beauty, it is all around us
From California to Maine
Oh, think how we mistreat Him
Yes, we oughta be ashamed
Yeah, think how we mistreat Him
Lord, we oughta be ashamed
