Blaming

First we blamed the bully, for being hateful and unkind
Then we blamed the shooter, because there's something wrong with his mind
Then we blamed the parents, they raised him to be this way
Then we blamed the video games, violence is a price we'll have to pay
Blaming with a blind eye, it only prolongs
It's time to place the blame exactly where it belongs
Living, breathing people who say, 'there's nothing we can do'
If you don't believe in change, the blame is placed on you
