Lyrics
Child blames the parent/Parent blames the child
When things go bad/And the child runs wild
When things go bad/Don't be sad
There's always someone you can blame
Man blames the woman/Woman blames the man
When things go bad/You gotta understand
When things go bad/Don't be sad
You know there's always someone you can blame
White blames black/Black blames white
When things go bad/And it comes down to a fight
When things go bad/Don't be sad
There's always someone you can blame
Well you can blame the Devil/Or you can blame God
When things go bad/And times get hard
When things go bad/Please don't be sad
Because there's always someone you can blame
So you blame me/And baby I'll blame you
When love goes wrong/And romance is through
When things go wrong/Baby just sing this song
Because there's always someone you can blame,
And you can blame me.
Yeah there's always, someone, you can blame.
