As soon as you could
You dressed me down
Spread the word that I’m no good
All over town
Whether it was off the cuff
Or always up your sleeve
I’ll bet you know, just how tough
You’ve made things for me
And I see
That the track on this game
Just leads
Straight back to more of the same
I will be
Hurling packets of blame
But it’s still be me
In this jacket of shame
You put it all on my shoulders
When we’ve both got victim’s tales
You know we’re equal stakeholders
In why this all failed
But because you got there first
And you didn’t keep your mouth zipped shut
I bet you hope you quenched their thirst
So I can’t rebut
It’s sometimes hard
To always do what’s right
And it’s left a scar
To tell the truth tonight
And so your words will cling
Since there’s truth in what you sell
I’ll tell myself it’s not the first thing
That just won’t wear well
