Blame It on Cain Lyrics

Elvis Costello

Once upon a time, I had a little money Government burglars took it long Before I could mail it to you But you are the only one
Now, I can't let it slip away So, if the man with the ticker tape Tries to take it This is what I'm gonna say
Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn
Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup And the money got low we could always heat it up Or trade it in
But then the radio to heaven Will be wired to your purse Then you can run down the wave band
Coast to coast, hand in hand Better or worse, curse for curse Don't be dissatisfied, so, you're not satisfied
Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn
I think I've lived a little too long On the outskirts of town I think I'm going insane From talking to myself for so long
Oh, but I've never been accused But when they step up on your face They wear that good look grin I gotta break out one weekend
Try to do somebody in But every single time I feel a little stronger They tell me it's a crime Well, how much longer?
Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn
Blame it on Cain Please, don't blame it on me It's nobodies fault But it just seems to be his turn
