Lay The Blame

Story Behind The Song

Some time back some irrational teens shot up a bunch of classmates. Columbine in fact. This incident totally enraged me and this is where the song was born....it stayed in a very basic form until I persuaded the guys that we do it in the current way....

Song Description

Loser who blames all of lifes' problems on everyone else. this person is a loose cannon, ready to explode at any time; Family and close friends are in the line of fire. This person is a whiner and refuses to take any sort of responsibility for teir own actions; Finally they think about committing suicide by Carbon Monoxide, but the final irony is they don't even have a car.

Lyrics

Verse 1 You're searching for answers
But you cannot find them It's goin' way too slow

You're close to exploding But nobody knows it One day you're gonna blow

CHORUS
You want to lay the blame

You try to lay the blame
You want to play your game
You're gonna lay the blame

Verse 2
You pick on your sister, You pick on your brother You pick on your ma and your pa

You pick on your best friend You pick on a stranger
,One day you'll go too far

Chorus
You want to lay the blame
You try to lay the blame
You want to play your game
You're gonna lay the blame


Verse 3
You find a shotgun And you pull the trigger 1 This time you've gone too far....

Carbon monoxide Would make it real easy But you don't even own a car....

Chorus
You want to lay the blame
You try to lay the blame
You want to play your game
You're gonna lay the blame
