about

“I wanted to make a big statement with my album ‘Family Plot,’ and I think “The Shame Shovel” is a great example of the way I wanted to tell my story – honest and direct lyrics about childhood trauma and neglect sung to high-energy rock music with hooks.” - Matt Kollock

lyrics

What is it now
Why are you crying, bothering me
Claiming they pinned you down
And violated your body

Those are the people who
Love you they would never
Mistreat you they were just
Having some fun

You shoveled shame on me
Shame on me
Shame on me
Now I'm shoveling my way out
You shoveled shame on me
Shame on you
Shame on you

You shoveled shame on me
Shame on me
Now I'm having my motherfuckin' breakout
You shoveled shame on me
Shame on you
Shame on you

Your emotional needs are
A sign of your weakness
The truth is you had it easy
You were quite pampered

Why would you make this up
Why would you tell anyone
I'm glad your father passed
Before you went crazy

You shoveled shame on me
Shame on me
Shame on me
Now I'm shoveling my way out
You shoveled shame on me
Shame on you
Shame on you

They shoveled shame on me
Shame on me
In the middle of a motherfucking love drought
They shoveled shame on me
They had it shoveled on them, too
And they never had a clue
But that's no excuse for you, ooh
