(i blame) society


I blame society
Society's to blame
I claim society
Is playing a hostile game
Inside my diary
I hide my private shame
I blame society, society
Society's to blame

I'm not sick, its 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

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

They provide a dried out dream
Lying through their teeth
I find the 1000th 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

Society, society, society's to blame
Society, society, society's to blame
Society's to blame
Society's to blame
Blame, blame
Society

I'm not sick the system is
Despicable and twisted
It's nothing 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
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

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's to blame

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
