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
