Lyrics

Blame

Politician puppets a-preaching in high high place

Trying to hide the fear written on their faces

Facing a future

Liquidating hope

Freezing the fire

Your dreams go up in smoke

Carry the weight of this world

You're gonna do more harm than good

You're gonna lose yourself in responsibility

Don't blame your heart

Don't blame your soul

Don't blame your lack of self control

Lay the blame on me

Don't blame the sun

Don't blame the sky

Blame yourself and I'll ask why

Lay the blame on me

Bossa Nova bandits thieves and self proclaimers

Leading a life of crime designed to entertain us

The poor and the needy

The rich and the privileged

Opening up a great divide

When all we needs a bridge

Carry the weight of this world

You're gonna do more harm than good

You're gonna lose yourself in responsibility

Don't blame your heart

Don't blame your soul

Don't blame your lack of self control

Lay the blame on me

Don't blame the sun

Don't blame the sky

Blame yourself and I'll ask why

Lay the blame on me

Carry the weight of this world

You're gonna do more harm than good

You're gonna lose yourself in responsibility

Don't blame your heart

Don't blame your soul

Don't blame your lack of self control

Lay the blame on me

Don't blame the sun

Don't blame the sky

Blame yourself and I'll ask why

Lay the blame on me

Don't blame your heart

Don't blame your soul

Don't blame your lack of self control

Lay the blame on me
