Taking the Blame Again

from Tales of Addictive Games and Exotic Pets by Kerry JK

/

lyrics

How can I trust my good intentions?
Selfish motivations taint the desire to do what's right
Each achievement comes with an asterix
All the good things that I receive
Are at somebody else's cost

Standing on the shoulders of Ancestry
Carrying the burden in my brain
Entering from stage left, the villain
Taking the blame again.

I've always been willing to compromise
But if you compromise too much
You can never compromise enough
So I had to learn to stand my ground
Even if the ground that I stood
Was on somebody else's hill

Living from the evils of Ancestry
Carrying the burden in my brain
Entering from stage left, the villain
Taking the blame again.

And so I turned to a higher power
To find comfort in humility
Submit myself and all my faults
Then it turned out that the higher power
Was human just like me

Standing on the shoulders of Ancestry
Carrying the burden in my brain
Entering from stage left, the villain
Taking the blame again.

Living from the evils of Ancestry
Carrying the burden in my brain
Entering from stage left, the villain
Taking the blame again.
