Don't blame the doctor for giving me those pills, Don't blame my mother for holding my hand up the hill, Don't blame my childhood friends for speaking their minds, I'll take it all, yeah I'll take it all I will.
If I was to fight would you fight against me, If I was to run would you run with me, If I was to die would you bury me deep, Saying world please, And if I was to scream would you hear what I said, If I was to drown would you hold my hand, Underneath the memories of what I meant, And not what I did.
I built a house so tall and I burned it down, I was looking for culture to find what was already found, But don't blame America, blame it on me, I'm w0rried that the sins of the father will trickle down.
If I was to fight would you fight against me, If I was to run would you run with me, If I was to die would you bury me deep, Saying world please, And if I was to scream would you hear what I said, If I was to drown would you hold my hand, Underneath the memories of what I meant, And not what I did.
So don't blame the money for telling me those lies, Don't say my lord was up there being unkind, 'Cause if justice is a trick you know we all could hide, I'll take it all, yeah I'll take it all this time.
