Shift the Blame

Fuck the police cuz they hate you
Always coming round, checking up on you
Always wanna know what you're up to
Fuck government officials, they're a bunch of crooks
Feed you lies to steal your vote
They say they speak for you but you know they don't

Their system's a failure and there's no way out
There's no turning back and there's no backing out

Fuck the music industry and their money machine
Their watered down music isn't part of our scene
Repackaged oldies on the television screen

Fuck big business and their three-piece suits
You reach for your pocket, they tighten the noose
Endless advertisements help

CHORUS
Take control if you want to be free
Face up to responsibility
Your chance at success lies in your hands
If only you could understand

Blame your color, blame your creed
A scapegoat if what you need
Blame it on your circumstance
You never gave yourself a chance
Quick to be caste as a victim
Afraid to make the tough decisions
The world is yours for the taking
But you don't see what a tragedy

CHORUS
