Well I took off running at the greatest speed
I didn't bother lookin' to either side of me
Oh I did't see I just didn't see what was really going on
The trees had stopped and the skyline rose
Exchanging comfort for the more fashionable clothes
I'd left the hills at this point in time
To run on treadmills in a perfect line
Salad days add up to daily shit
Sparking imagination 'til the sparks just quit
And if this is fun why am I so bored with it?
Well I will probably never know
Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps
When we rolled over how our master clapped
It felt so good, we wanted more of that
When the program failed they defensively laughed
Saying, "We did things just how you asked
Don't try taking us to task
You didn't bite a face, nope just a mask, so Happy Halloween!"
I drew a blank we put it in a frame
Wait, what you're winning, you didn't say this was a game
Well, I guess I'll just have to play and play until I'm outta cash
Before I could spit it out I guess the words had burnt my mouth what can I say?
Best of all I laid it down so you could take it out of context either way
We said all along we deserved every bit
And mostly we knew that the supply would quit
But we got going and going and just went with it
Til everybody lost their minds
Directly behind being ahead of the time
But don't you worry it'll fall right in line
Yup, everything's just fine, fine, fine
No one's getting blamed this time
Blameless oh Blameless can we find a way to blame our way out?
Well, I postdated the eulogy for every blameless body now, now
We are blamelessly teething on much more than we need now, now, now
Blamelessly teething
Well we're all getting blamed cause everyone, everyone knew
Well we're all getting blamed yeah everybody knew
Where to take the blame, blame everybody knew
Well the blame, blame oh, oh everybody knew
Well we're all getting blamed cause everybody knew, everyone
