Blame

Jump to recording info | Jump to lyrics

I wrote this song a long time ago (mid 90s) and introduced it to my band fuzzy logic. We ended up playing it at almost every gig. I definitely need to thank John for the “You can only blame yourself” line at the end of each verse — it really adds to the humor.

The banter in the intro was lifted off of an old fuzzy logic tape from a Labor Day party we played outside in Warwick. You can hear me, John, and EJ suggesting to play “something new”. EJ, a little annoyed by the fact that he was getting eaten alive came out with “let’s play ‘I’m gettin’ eaten alive by mosquito song!’”

Anyway, I hope you like it and can relate at some level!

Lyrics

I know there is no reason for this hella mess I'm in
I can only blame myself
(You can only blame yourself)

Don't you know it's Friday and I'm late for work again
I can only blame myself
(You can only blame yourself)

Forgot to set the alarm, now the boss has called again
He said that I am late for work, you better never ever do it again

I'm sitting in my car, and my palms are feeling wet
I can only blame myself
(You can only blame yourself)

Forgotten my special hat at home cause I rushed out the door
I can only blame myself
(You can only blame yourself)

Forgot to set the alarm, now the boss has called again
He said that I am late for work, you better never ever do it again

I finally got to work and my boss said with a grin
"You can only blame yourself"
(You can only blame yourself)

And then I looked him in the eye and I said to him with him pride,
I said: "Boss you'd better get yourself a new pizza delivery guy, huh!"

Forgot to set the alarm, now the boss has called again
He said that I am late for work, you better never ever do it again

Blame!
