Blame It on Cain

Once upon a time, I had a little money Government burglars took it long Before I could mail it to you Still you are the only one Now, I can't let it slip away So, if the man with the ticker tape Tries to take it Well, this is what I'm gonna say Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup And the money got low We could always heat it up And trade it in But then the radio to heaven Will be wired to your purse And you can run down the wave band Coast to coast, hand in hand Bad for worse, curse for curse Don't be dissatisfied So you're not satisfied Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn I think I've lived a little too long On the outskirts of town I think I'm going insane From talking to myself for so long Oh, but I've never been accused But when they step upon your face They wear that good look grin I gotta break out one weekend Before I do somebody in But every single time I feel a little stronger They tell me it's a crime Well, how much longer? Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain Oh, oh, oh, please don't blame it on me It's nobody's fault But it just seems to be his turn
