Chumbawamba - Scapegoat lyrics

rate me

Aftershave and smoke and the same unfunny jokes

They say they'll take you anywhere but there

Believe every half-whispered, half-remembered lie

Where truth is a luxury they can't afford to buy

Scapegoat, looking 4 a scapegoat...Scapegoat, looking 4 a scapegoat...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

Backed into a corner he barricades his life

Fastens up the shutters every night

This island is big enough for every castaway

But most of us are looking 'round for someone else to blame

Scapegoat, looking 4 a scapegoat...Scapegoat, looking 4 a scapegoat...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always someone else for you to blame...

There's always (Scapegoat) someone else for you to blame...

(Looking for a scapegoat)

There's always (Scapegoat) someone else for you to blame...

(Looking for a scapegoat)

There's always (Scapegoat) someone else for you to blame...

(Looking for a scapegoat)

There's always (Scapegoat) someone else for you to blame...

(Looking for a scapegoat)

(Pete Postlethwaite as Danny) “Oh aye, they can knock out a bloody good tune. But what the fuck does that matter?” [gasps emotionally, close to tears] “And now I'm going to take my boys out onto the town. Thank you.” [walks out darkly, rapturous applause]
