Dana Lyons Blameless
She says it's me, and I say it's her
She says it wasn't, but I say it were
But I sense that she thinks
That you cause it much of the time
She says it's the weather, but I think it's stress
She says it's my backache, but it's her PMS
There's an inkling life is stinking
And we're thinking there's a big reason why
Right or wrong, good or bad
The rules will always change
It ain't whether you win or lose
It's how you place the blame
It's probably our parents, I'm sure that it's school
It might be the Church, or the chlorine in the pool
But somewhere there's a reason
For the feeling that we're dealing with now
She says it's the government, the ads on TV
I pointed out she didn't vote and then we agreed
It was our neighbors from a foreign land
Whose teenagers that couldn't behave
Right or wrong, good or bad
The rules will always change
It ain't whether you win or lose
It's how you place the blame
It could be the drinking that made me a mess
Or late in the Sixties, I took too much LDS
But then we though the smoking
And the toking and the boozing were fine
It might be the sugar in all of the snacks
And what they wrecked with Ritalin
They fixed with Prozac
But lately I've been feeling
That I'm almost present most of the time
Right or wrong, good or bad
The rules will always change
It ain't whether you win or lose
It's how you place the blame
Right or wrong, good or bad
The rules will always change
It ain't whether you win or lose
It's how you place the blame
