lyrics

THE BLAME’S ON U.S.

A couple years ago some crazy people knocked our buildings down
A lot of people died and ever since then we’ve been on the prowl
Been on the prowl for vengeance, on the prowl to try to feel secure
But we couldn’t find that Boogeyman and we’re still chasing our cure

Chorus:
So you tell me what’s going on
With the State of our Union, with the state of our home
Somebody tell the President his fifteen minutes are up
God didn’t put you there the blame’s on U.S.

Turn on the TV talking heads with terror alerts on the bottom of the screen
They’re showing people blowing people up no wonder why I can’t get no sleep
It’s no wonder why were all so doped up these days
And those of us who aren’t hope this is the end so they can escape

Chorus

Last night in my dreams I wept as a captive in a strange land
By the rivers of Babylon where my Lord’s song there was demanded
Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth they little ones heads
Against the stones, against thy will, against thy own Lord’s breath

Chorus
