I want to blame the sun
I want to blame the moon
I want to blame everyone
Who said it was too soon

I want to blame the pistol
I want to blame the soldier
I want to blame the minister
Who said you should have been older

I want to blame the streets
I want to blame the buildings
I want to blame the beats
Who were too busy consuming

But I blame myself
I blame myself

I want to blame the movies
I want to blame the poets
I want to blame the philosophies
Of men too good at knowing

I want to blame the papers
I want to blame the mail
I want to blame every prayer
That was destined to fail

I want to blame the clock hands
I want to blame you
I want to blame your stupid soul
For having the need to move

But I blame myself
I blame myself
