You can blame it on the police
For being too rough
You can blame it on the president
For not caring enough
You can blame it on anything you see
But don't blame what I do on me
You can blame it on the ladies
For this money I'm not making
You can blame it on Columbus
For these things I'm just in-taking
You can blame it on anything you see
But don't blame a what I do on me
There is a universal problem with man
The shrink on TV just don't understand
No social program can save a man's soul
Why do we shift the blame
It's such a childish game
You can blame it on my family tree
For this life in my veins
You can blame it on my teachers
For this chalk on my brain
You can blame it on anything you see
But don't blame what I do on me
There is a universal problem with man
The shrink on TV just don't understand
No social program can save a man's soul
Why do we shift the blame
This childish game
There is a universal problem with man
It started back when time first began
Adam disobeyed the highest command
Why did he shift the blame
Why do we do the same
Why do we play this game
Oh, no
Don't blame it on me
I didn't do it
You can blame it on the TV
For not nurturing me
You can blame it on the Preacher
Just don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
You can blame it
Don't blame it on me
You can blame it
Just don't blame it
Don't blame it on me
Oh, you can blame it
Don't blame it on me, oh...
