[Verse 1]

Well I took off running at the greatest speed

I didn't bother looking to either side of me

Oh I didn't see, I just didn't see

What was really going on

[Verse 2]

The truth had stopped and the skyline rose

Exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes

I'd left the hills at this point in time

To run on treadmills in a perfect line

[Verse 3]

Salad days add up to daily shit

Sparking imagination till the sparks just quit

And if this is fun, why am I so bored with it?

Well, I'll probably never know

[Bridge]

Guilty cocker spaniels eatin' table scraps

Well, we rolled over, how our masters clapped

It felt so good, we wanted more than that

But when the program failed they defensively laughed

Saying, "We did things just how you asked

Don't try takin' us to task

You didn't buy a face, nope, just a mask

So happy Halloween!"

[Verse 4]

I drew a blank, we put it in a frame

Wait, what, you're winning?

You didn't say this was a game

Well, I guess I'll just have to play and play

Until I'm out of cash

[Break]

Before I could spit it out

I guess the words had burnt my mouth

What can I say?

There's the thought I laid it out

So you could take it out of context either way

[Verse 5]

We said all along we deserve every bit

And mostly we knew that the supply would quit

But we got going and going just away with it

Until everybody lost their minds

[Verse 6]

Directly behind being ahead of the time

But don't you worry, it'll fall right in line

Yep, everything just fine, fine, fine

No one's getting blamed this time

[Bridge]

Blame me, so blameless

Can we find a way to blame our way out?

Well, I postdated the eulogy

For every blameless body, now now

We are blamelessly teething

On much more than we need now, now now

Blamelessly teething

[Outro]

Well, we're all getting blamed

'Cause everyone, every one knew

That's right

Everybody knew everything

Well, we're all getting blamed yeah everybody knew

Where to take the blame, blame everybody knew

Well, the blame, blame oh, oh everybody knew

Well, we're all getting blamed 'cause everybody knew, everyone
