(I Blame) Society

Lyrics

[Chorus] I blame society Society's to blame I claim society Is playing a hostile game Inside my diary I hide my private shame And I blame society, society Society's to blame [Verse 1] I'm not sick, it's the world that is They're hiding their disease behind a giant sign It's twice the size of life as we perceive it to be This sign I describe, it reads, "In silence you are free" That's how they try to tie and tightly bind us Reclined in our seats, oh my They think that we are spineless I think they are all cheats It seems the Earth is speeding swiftly Towards a grave catastrophe [Chorus] That's my anxiety It's the opposing team to my sobriety Whose reliable defeat is no surprise to me It's always the same I blame society, society Society's to blame [Verse 2] They provide a dried out dream Lying through their teeth I find the one thousandth of one percent Are thriving by deceit, oh Jesus They supply us meager feedings While they feast in greed, oh Christ They prescribe a violent beating Ninety times a week, at least They line us up in binaries for psychiatry retreats Until they finally refine the virus that makes us obsolete [Bridge] Society, society, society's to blame Society, society, society's to blame Society's to blame Society's to blame Blame, blame Society [Verse 3] I'm not sick, the system is Despicable and twisted It's nothing that you can fix with wishes It tricks you with its little gifts Then kicks you when you fuss or fidget Picket it or be its critic The fists will come down vigorously Little bits of it are in your blood stream from a single visit An isolated incident is a thing of fiction We are all complicit Our fingerprints all bleed [Chorus] And I blame society For poisoning the seed That grew the vilest tree So we could be its leaves Inside my diary I hide my private shame And I blame society, society Society's to blame [Outro] One, two, three
