The blame game

Yeah…

Everybody got a reason, everybody got a name,

Everybody got a finger when it’s time to play the blame.

But nobody got a solution…

So here we go again.

You blame me, I blame him, he blames her,

She blames them, they blame us, right back where we were.

Everybody pointing fingers, nobody stepping up,

Everybody got excuses when the pressure starts to crush.

“It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it,

That was somebody else.”

Funny how the problem stays

When everybody saves themselves.

We spend more time defending

Than we ever spend repairing,

More time finding someone guilty

Than admitting we were careless.

Welcome to the Blame Game,

Everybody pointing but nobody takes the blame.

Left hand pointing right, right hand pointing left,

Everybody screaming, “It was everybody else!”

Same problem, different day,

Same excuses getting in the way.

We could fix it, but we’d rather complain—

Welcome to the Blame Game!

Boss blames workers, workers blame the boss,

Customer blames the company, everybody counts the cost.

Politicians blame the other side,

Everybody swears they’re right,

While the people in the middle

Are just trying to survive.

“Why’d you let it happen?”

“Why didn’t you prevent it?”

“I would’ve fixed the problem

If you’d only let me get in it!”

Clock keeps ticking,

Arguments get louder,

Everybody wants the credit,

Nobody wants to get their hands dirty.

What if we stopped?

What if we listened?

What if the answer

Was simply admitting?

Maybe nobody wins

When everybody’s right.

Maybe fixing the problem

Means dropping the fight.

Welcome to the Blame Game,

Everybody pointing but nobody takes the blame.

Left hand pointing right, right hand pointing left,

Everybody screaming, “It was everybody else!”

Same problem, different day,

Same excuses getting in the way.

We could fix it, but we’d rather complain—

Welcome to the Blame Game!

You want change? Then change something.

Want answers? Start asking.

Want progress? Stop talking

And get your ass to acting.

A problem doesn’t vanish

When you find somebody guilty.

A wound doesn’t start healing

Just because you call somebody filthy.

We don’t need another finger,

We don’t need another name.

We need somebody brave enough

To step outside the game.

No more blame game,

No more pointing fingers just to dodge the pain.

Left hand pointing right, right hand pointing left—

How the hell we gonna fix it

If we never fix ourselves?

Same problem, different day,

But tonight we break away.

Put the fingers down,

Let’s make a change—

NO MORE BLAME GAME.

Everybody wants somebody to blame…

But somebody’s gotta be the one who says—

“Enough.

Let’s fix the damn thing.”
