We Oughta Be Ashamed Lyrics

We oughta be ashamed We oughta be ashamed We use and abuse such a wonderful name
See the blooming of the flowers When the spring first appears 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 We oughta be ashamed We use and abuse such a wonderful name Look at the beauty that's all around us
From California to Maine Then we think how we mistreat it 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
See the rich man with all his money Ah, but still he complains Smell the flowing of all the whiskey Lord, we oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed We oughta be ashamed We use and abuse such a wonderful name And the beauty's all around us
From California to Maine Oh, we think how He's mistreated We oughta be ashamed And think how we mistreat Him Lord, we oughta be ashamed
