"Shame on You" is a single from the Indigo Girls album "Shaming of the Sun" released in 1997. The song's lyrics celebrate Chicano culture ("I go down to Chicano city park/cause it makes me feel so fine") and strongly criticize efforts against illegal immigration as being racist ("The white folks like to pretend it's not/but their music's in the air") and hypocritical ("They say we be looking for illegal immigrants/can we check your car/I say you know it's funny I think we were on the same boat/back in 1694").
Steve Earle sings backup and plays harmonica on the song.
The song was inspired by filmmaker David Zeiger's documentary "Displaced in the New South".
