Cognitive Dissonance
It's always someone, something else,
that's made your life a living hell
abstain, explain, complain, campaign,
work on your pitch and make it sell
Blame the weather, blame the seasons
blame your parents, blame your friend
there's no excuses, there's only reasons,
it can't be you; you're innocent
You need a villain to your quarry,
an antagonist to complete the cast
it's current pressures, future worries
or something that happened in the past
Object, confuse or obfuscate
avoid the mirror and twist the facts
enhance, invent, prevaricate
but hide behind your victim mask
