Lyrics Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter

Blame it on the Tetons

Blame it on the Tetons

Yeah, I need a scapegoat now

No, my dog won't bite you

Though it had the right to

You ought to give her credit

Because she knows I would've let it happen

Blame it on the weekends

God, I need a cola now

Oh, we mumble loudly

Wear our shame so proudly

Wore our blank expressions

Trying to look interesting

Blame it all on me

Because god, I need a cold one now

All them eager actors gladly taking credit

For the lines created by the people

Tucked away from sight

Is just a window from the room we're bound to

If you find a way out

Oh, would you just let me know how?

Would you just let me know how?

Blame it on the web

But the spider's your problem now

Language is for liquid

That we're all dissolved in

Great for solving problems

After it creates a problem

Blame it on the Tetons

God, I need a scapegoat now

Everyone's a building burning

With no one to put the fire out

Standing at the window looking out

Waiting for time to burn us down

Everyone's an ocean drowning

With no one really to show how

They might get a little better air

If they turned themselves into a cloud
