Blame Game - The Von Bondies

First thing I do:

Start a revolution

Built around me and you

Who are we to know the game

To freedom?

Dead to say, built between them

Kept aghast

Kept aghast

Well who can blame him for trying?

Oh, oh I have to keep him from lying

Oh, oh Hey

The next thing I do Is stop watching the clocks

Cos everyone knows that time is fleeting

Open your ears and hear the pleading

Echoes of voices, fighting for years

Ringing with hatred, growing each fear

Dead to say, don’t turn my way…

Well who can blame him for trying?

Oh, oh I have to keep him from lying

Oh, oh Hey

Well who can blame him for trying?

Oh, oh I have to keep him from lying

Oh, oh Hey

Last thing I do Is tear away these scars

Paranoid, bleeding as bright as the night

Dancing with pain, with pain, with pain

Well who can blame him for trying?

Oh, oh I have to keep him from lying

Oh, oh Hey

Well who can blame him for trying?

Oh, oh I have to keep him from lying

Oh, oh Hey, hey, hey
