Take the Blame
I have a gripe that I’ll explain
I hate excuses that are so lame
Nothing more my ire inflames
Then people crying, “I’m not to blame”.
Put your excuses in the vault
I don’t want to hear, “It’s not my fault”
Step up to the plate and be a man
It’s shirking responsibility that I can’t stand.
Blaming others is a terrible trait
A character flaw that’s second rate
And you know darn well I tell the truth
Even though you have no proof.
So if you continue to play that game
To you, you know I will show no shame
And punish you in fairness’ name
Because you know you are to blame.
