The Templars

Shift the Blame

The Templars


Fuck the police cuz they hate you 
Always coming round, checking up on you 
Always wanna know what you're up to 
Fuck government officials, they're a bunch of crooks 
Feed you lies to steal your vote 
They say they speak for you but you know they don't 

Their system's a failure and there's no way out 
There's no turning back and there's no backing out 

Fuck the music industry and their money machine 
Their watered down music isn't part of our scene 
Repackaged oldies on the television screen 

Fuck big business and their three-piece suits 
You reach for your pocket, they tighten the noose 
Endless advertisements help 

CHORUS 
Take control if you want to be free 
Face up to responsibility 
Your chance at success lies in your hands 
If only you could understand 

Blame your color, blame your creed 
A scapegoat if what you need 
Blame it on your circumstance 
You never gave yourself a chance 
Quick to be caste as a victim 
Afraid to make the tough decisions 
The world is yours for the taking 
But you don't see what a tragedy 

CHORUS
