Nobody's Blame

I find it funny how we each blame Another for our woes Don’t quite understand How it can be everybody’s fault And nobody’s blame How can anybody be right If everybody’s wrong If it weren’t for George If it wasn’t for Bill If it weren’t for Ron And what the hell Was Jimmy about We should’ve listened to Ted And forgot about Dick Now today we hear it’s them to blame Countered with It’s their own damn fault We hear so many promises made Yet so few are kept We see executives paid For jobs well done That were never done at all While those around them fall And yet, nobody’s to blame But the other guy Just how was it And when did it come to pass That mirrors looked into Quit reflecting back what is there To those looking in When was it common sense left And a man looking himself in the eye No longer mattered Just so long As standing near by Was someone else to blame
