| How long can you make the joke
|
| Before it makes you cry?
|
| Before you ask your brother why
|
| He’s a bully in denial
|
| Blaming you all the while
|
| For when your dad left the frame
|
| And there was no one else to blame
|
| How long can you take the smoke
|
| Before you have to lie to yourself?
|
| Well you say you’re on your last
|
| Cigarette pack
|
| But you’re not a 1950's ad
|
| I hate to say
|
| It’s just another thing to blame
|
| For the burden and the stress
|
| For the heartache and the mess
|
| You entertain
|
| You put your money down
|
| On which part of you is next
|
| To slip down the drain
|
| With nothing, nowhere and no-one
|
| No-one else to blame
|
| Another stick catches the spoke
|
| But no one sees you fly
|
| You’re gonna take the ground in style
|
| Go down in leather and crocodile
|
| Find some laundry pins and hang up a smile
|
| Walk down another useless aisle
|
| Well when will you confess
|
| You find rest
|
| In someone else’s shame
|
| Optimism at its best
|
| Is just an educated guess
|
| And it all looks the same
|
| With nothing, nowhere and no one
|
| No one else to blame
|
| With nothing, nowhere and no one
|
| No one else to blame |
