Who's To Blame
You done set it up first
And it run itself foul
Listen to it burn
And listen to it growl
This wasted opportunity
A Paradise so green
Sweet peace gone out a-wailin'
For somethin' quite obscene
The critters used ta frolic
But now they tooth and claw
And mothers leave their chil'ren
The worst I ever saw
And man who held dominion
And ruled in Eden's calm
Now plannin' out each ghetto
And playin' with the bomb
You coulda done it different
You coulda stayed the hand
That wanted to play God instead
But didn't understand
Your one Law held the seed of choice
And that the seed of Love
And Love is all you ever asked
Your perfect plan to prove.
Instead man took the steerin' wheel
And drove the bus to hell
I'm askin God please intervene
And all this rot dispel.
I'm guessin' that you're much too grand
To jes come down and fix
But what if one clean Man you chose
To join us in the mix?
