Put the Blame on Me

from Drinking songs for Sober Drunks by Bill White

/

lyrics

I just woke up sick again
from the poison night before
I tried to get into emergency
but they woudnt let me through the door
Went into convulsions on the boulevard
Opened up your letter
You words hit me so hard

If you want to blame somebody
For all the hate and misery
Put the blame on me

O loitered on the corner
Took your written abuse
A hustler hit me up for a cigarette
but i couldnt shake one loose
He ran a finger acrss his scar
A woman in a window came down into the street
and disappeared into a bar

If you want to blame somebody
For how ridiculous ife can be
Put the blame on me

I spare changed outside a liquor store
Until I got enough for some gin
Threw my shirt into the gutter
and wiped the vomit from my chin
Picked through a garbage can for some magazines
Got the geeling it was gonna be
Another bloody Halloween

If you want to blame somebody
For what went wrong between you and me
Put the blame on me

A naked man who started to run
was shot down by the cops
O was stomped i a junkyard by Mexicans
When I was running props
In the alley at gunpoint a frightened kid
Was forced to give up his head
And you write me this letter
that makes me wish that I was dead

If you want to blame somebody
Im not about to cop a plea
Put the blame on me
