lyrics

Magnify the blame with over-exaggeration
You may not be sane, so I'll try my best to be patient
But you're making up stories inside of your head
An image of perfection you're so keen to protect
Standing on the kinder folks' weaker skulls
Till you break their spines for your pedestal

CHORUS:
It wasn't you, no, no, no
It couldn't have been you no, no
You want to be a perfect man
You want to lead the whole damn clan
So as far as you're concerned
It's somebody else's fault
Lock your mistakes in a vault

Attention-seeking, pretentious being
Just a bit of delusion
Can't point at you 'cause when the day is through
You'd rather blame the innocent
You can share the guilt or cause a tilt
In the equilibrium
Or you can duke it out for the louder shout
In your stone cold colleseum

CHORUS

There's a war if you persist
Did you think that these people wouldn't resist?
No more scapegoats, just your fist
Losing all your trust
Losing all your rights
There's a war if you persist
Did you think that these people wouldn't resist?
No more scapegoats, just your fist
Losing all your trust
Losing all your rights
Losing all your trust

It wasn't you, no, no, no
It couldn't have been you, no, no
It wasn't you, no, no, no
It couldn't have been you, no, no

CHORUS
