'I Blame The Government'

Song story and background information

You should blame the Government too. Why take responsibility for your own hapless mess of a life? In our experience, it's nearly always the Government's fault. Or the parents.

Don't ever take responsibility. It's never your fault. Cast your blame in wide arcs. Go for the soft target - surely it's the Government's fault? Because it's certainly not ours. Check out Fußgängerzone's third way.

Lyrics
Yesterday I stubbed my toe
Asked a girl out, she said "no"
Locked myself out of the flat
Just sat on my favourite hat
I can't buy a new Playstation
There's no proportional representation
In the pub they've no more beer
I do believe I might be queer

I blame the government
I blame the government
I blame the government
And you should blame the government too

I just missed the late-night bus
Somehow I think I've picked up thrush
Too many tourists on the street
I can't get shoes to fit my feet

I blame the government
I blame the government
I blame the government
And you should blame the government too

I got no friends, I've got no bird
The horse I backed just came third (and it wasn't an each-way bet)
There's a disenfranchisd underclass
Is this my elbow or my arse?

I blame the government
I blame the government
I blame the government
And you should blame the government too

Oi! Oi!

They just knocked down my favourite pub
I can't get into any clubs
My hair's a mess, my socks don't match
I'm going through a nasty patch

I blame the government
I blame the government
I blame the government
And you should blame the government too

Can't pay, won't pay
Can't pay, won't pay
Can't pay, won't pay
Can't pay, won't pay
