Blame It On Me

You light the match, you fan the flame

Then scream my name when it all goes wrong

You pull the trigger, start the fight

But say the devil wrote your song

You raise your fist, you draw the line

You cross it just to feel alive

When the smoke is in your eyes

You need a ghost you can deny

You want a name, you want a face

To wash your hands, erase the trace

Blame it on me! — hey!

Blame it on me! — ho!

Every dirty little deed

You don’t wanna own

Blame it on me! — hey!

Blame it on me! — ho!

But you chose the road

Now walk it home

You kneel in fear, you pray for light

While sharpening the knife inside

You talk about a higher law

But break it every single night

You build your throne on broken bones

Call it faith, call it fate

When the truth knocks at your door

You say I sealed your fate

You want a scapegoat, dressed in red

So you don’t hear the words you said

Blame it on me! — hey!

Blame it on me! — ho!

Every dirty little deed

You don’t wanna own

Blame it on me! — hey!

Blame it on me! — ho!

You pulled the pin

Now feel the blow

I didn’t make you hate

I didn’t make you lie

I didn’t choose your side

You did — every time

SO SAY IT!

Blame it on me! — hey!

Blame it on me! — ho!

But I never held your hand

When you lost control

Blame it on me! — hey!

Blame it on me! — ho!

Look in the mirror, man

That’s rock’n’roll

You want a devil?

Take a look around.

He’s got your face.

And he’s loud.
