Shift The Blame

This tragic thing will spread its tragic wings
And float into the sky
Where people in this town
Will turn a prying eye
The confidence you once held in your friends
Will crumble into sand
Shattering any hope
To be ever again
The people in this town they never sleep
They’re careful not to keep
Secrets that involve anyone with them
Then they will run their mouths behind your back
All for one good laugh
And deconstruct your life
You’ll never get back
With monumental failure
Comes monumental fame
I think it’s more than you can take
With monumental failure
Comes monumental shame
So I think it’s time you shift the blame
The keepers of the bars downtown on Main
Know your story but not your name
They’ve heard it a hundred times
From the flies that live there
Is that the kind of life you want to lead
The friends you want to keep
The stories you want told
To everyone back home?
With monumental failure
Comes monumental fame
I think it’s more than you can take
With monumental failure
Comes monumental shame
So I think it’s time you shift the blame
Even with your unrelenting eyes
Or the landscape oh so sleepy
Accidents with no reason or rhyme
Seem to have your name and number
(Ooh ooh)
So I think it’s time you shift the blame
