City Of Blame

Your memory serves you
but mine is so lame
it bothers you still
so please tell me again

Who stole your lunch box
and who smashed your toy
who failed to hug you
when you were a boy?
who broke your heart and
who yellowed your tooth
who sapped your energy
who took your youth
who who who who

and who didn't choose you for kickball that day
who left you stranded to walk all that way~
who took your Christmas and
who stole your pride
who locked the door and
who left you outside
..in the rain?~

(Chorus)
What is was the
the reason you
you must take the shame
tell it to get off your back
just the same
let out the anger
and cut loose the pain
grab onto LOVE, baby
Run from this city of blame!

Who wasn't there when you needed him so
who made you clean up and shovel the snow~
Who was a meany and
who was a Grinch~
who took a mile when you gave him an inch~
who who who who

and who said "I Do"
with their two fingers crossed
dumped you for somebody better (but sauced)
bought you a burger
but wanted much more
took all your hopes
and your dreams to the floor?

(Chorus)

BRIDGE

who robbed your innocence
who stole your crown
promised the moon
and took off at sundown
the memories haunt us
though we may forgive
forgetting is hard
'cause it is what it is
we'll do this together
when they're all around
chalk it all up to the past
and then get outta town!

(Chorus)
What is was the
the reason we
you must take the shame
tell it to get off our backs
just the same
let out the anger
and cut loose the pain
grab onto LOVE, baby
run from this city of
blame
leave all your bags and we'll
RUN from the city of blame!
