oh dear soul
in the garbage is his gold
had a tattoo of jesus dug into his chest
and the good folk couldnât look past the color of his skin
or his smell, or the fear he struck in them
and itâs hard
so goddamned hard
turn on the news man
he sure do talk alot
reports reality, be grateful for what you got
and another young man died in a sick bed
itâs a shame and there ainât no fucking cure
tell me whoâs to blame
tell me, tell me
and iâll never ask again
wonât you tell me whoâs to blame
and a baby died
mama suckinâ on a pipe
go on now tell me about your peace, love and hippie consciousness
and the world todayâs lost itâs magic and itâs strange
whoâs responsible for such a fucked up mess
did you guess
and tell me, tell me
wonât you tell me whoâs to blame
tell me, tell me
and iâll never ask again
wonât you tell me whoâs to blame
if I look to the sky
where will my pain go?
Throw it out the window
and not bother with that load
if I live my life with some human dignity
well the one to blame sure enough ainât gonna be me
and tell me, tell me
wonât you tell me whoâs to blame
tell me, tell me
and iâll never ask again
wonât you tell me whoâs to blame
is it love weâre lookin for, lookin for my friend?
