Lyrics

Placing the Blame

[Verse 1]

Yesterday I met the postman

Bringing packages from England

I smiled as to not provoke him

Then asked "What's up with the gun, man?"

Its been so hot in here for days, the ice cream's melting

Given the means and the ways, the sex is helping

I lost directions to the microwaving meals

And my Captain & Tennille

[Verse 2]

"Now I try to keep my head above my shoes

Especially in front of new wave hairdos"

A dying man said to me with his dead lips

Selling crack in Eubonics

Oh, as not to offend or annoy, or strike a bad note

As not to damage or destroy, or say a bad word

I gave directions to the nearest coffee shop

So maybe he'd stop, so maybe he'd stop

[Pre-Chorus]

Wake up world, it's time to go

'Cause this life can bring you down, so down

Wake up world, it's time to go

And turn around the opposite way

[Chorus]

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
