Lyrics

Take The Blame

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.

You can see the way we do it here

You will be alright if you can change

You can be a rich man, you can start to climb.

Get into the rhythm, step into the line.

Politicians eat your words

Prohibition that's a joke

Exhibition of the criminally insane

You can take the money,

but can you take the blame

You can take the money,

but can you take the blame

You can be the new arising star

You can be the super new-wave boy

You can be a tyrant, you can rule by fear

That's the way they like it, stick it in their ear

Politicians eat your words

Prohibition that's a joke

Put your own children in Jail with a shame

You can take the money,

but can you take the blame

You can take the money,

but can you take the blame

Politician swine, you make me wanna puke

Waste my money, waste my time.

going by the book

Education fails no need to teach the poor

They just get in the way, until we have a war.

until we have a war...

You will never sorrow for your friends

You will never miss them for a day

You will be a hero, you will be a king

Get into the money, get into the swing

Politicians eat your words

Prohibition that's a joke

You can't fool everybody, you should be ashamed

You can take the money,

but can you take the blame

You can take the money,

but can you take the blame

See you on TV, you talk and talk and talk

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Liars, thieves and dorks

You may be in control,

so how come you're so scared

Is it because you feel, the hatred everywhere,

the hatred everywhere
