Guilt and Shame

Best friends forever
Always together 
Looking for someone to blame

No need to be guessing
Not here for the blessing
Keep bringing up your name

In case you've forgot
They gladly name drop
Always ready to play

Both long time buddies
Swim water that's muddy
So close, could be one and the same

What you should do
Is let them both loose
Don't even join in with their game

Whatever you've heard
Don't believe a single word
They are liars, both Guilt and Shame
