Share in the Blame

Don't blame the bullet for the wars you have sown

Don't blame the winter when you've forgotten your coat

When you make the same deals for a hundred years

And you wanna make a change

You gotta hold up the mirror and share in the blame

Don't blame your brother for the color of his skin

Don't blame your neighbor for the house he lives in

From the same cloth, we are made of, we are just the same

You gotta hold up the mirror and share in the blame

R:

Like a coming of age, I am learning how to say

All the failures I'm dragging behind

Finding freedom to speak, freedom to release

Oh tonight I wanna make peace with you

Don't blame the writer for the doubts in your head

Don't blame the preacher for the lovers in your bed

When you find out that the world is round, everything is rearranged

You gotta hold up the mirror, and share in the blame

R:

Don't blame the president, don't blame the king

Don't blame your history for what might have been

We will be free where the grass is green and the lion is tame

If we just hold up the mirror now and share in the blame
