Surrogate - Shift The Blame lyrics
rate meThis tragic thing will spread it's tragic wings<br />
And float into the sky<br />
Where people in this town will turn a prying eye<br />
<br />
The confidence you once held in your friends<br />
Oh, crumbled into sand<br />
Shattering any hope to be ever again<br />
<br />
The people in this town, they never sleep<br />
They're careful not to keep<br />
Secrets that involve anyone but them<br />
<br />
And they will run their mouths behind your back<br />
All for one good laugh<br />
And deconstruct your life, you'll never get back<br />
<br />
With monumental failure, comes monumental fame<br />
I think it's more than you can take<br />
With monumental failure, comes monumental shame<br />
So I think it's time you shift the blame<br />
<br />
The keepers of the bars downtown on Main<br />
Know your story but not your name<br />
They've heard a hundred times from the flies that live there<br />
<br />
Is that the kind of life you want to lead<br />
The friends you want to keep?<br />
The stories you want told to everyone back home<br />
<br />
With monumental failure, comes monumental fame<br />
I think it's more than you can take<br />
With monumental failure, comes monumental shame<br />
So I think it's time you shift the blame<br />
<br />
Even with your unrelenting eyes<br />
On the landscape, oh, so sleepy<br />
Accidents with no reason or rhyme<br />
Seem to have your name and number, oh<br />
<br />
So I think it's time you shift the blame
