Blame Game
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.
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
