Lyrics
Scapegoat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Aftershave and smoke
and the same unfunny jokes
they say they'll take you
anywhere but there
believe every half-whispered
half-remembered lie
the truth is a luxury
they can't afford to buy
scapegoat
looking for a
scapegoat
there's always someone else for you to blame
backed into a corner
he barricades his life
fastens up the shutters every night
this island is big enoug for every cast-away
but most of us are looking round
for someone else to blame
scapegoat
looking for a
scapegoat
there's always someone else for you to blame
