Blame

who gets the blame
when things don't go they way they should?
when things aren't great, just good?
when things are up instead of down?
when things are flat instead of round?

who gets the blame
the clean isn't clean enough
and the dirty seems to permeate
then people aren't happy enough
and animals just take the cake.

who gets the blame?
the fingers points too easy and true
its rarely him, or him, or him, or you...
the bottle spins around and around
here i am waiting, not making a sound.
who gets the blame?
