Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

No-One Left to Blame

You're a modern individual

With a mind that's strong and free

And it got you what you wanted

From the day you came to be

But when you got what you wanted

It could never quench your thirst

So you blamed the ones around you

For not warning you first

But now the ones around you

Are going and of no use

'Cause as the last one vanishes

She takes the last excuse

There's no one left to blame

You're the cause of your pain

Love made you forget it

Love of every hue

A mother's love, a father's love

A lover's love, a child's love

But it came back again

And you felt like you'd lived through

An almighty deception

Designed just for you

But the almighty deception

Gives while you just take

It's living all around you

While you're holding its wake

There's no one left to blame

You're the cause of your pain

You blamed it on the market

For burdening you with wealth

You blamed it on the whiskey

As if it poured itself

Dive into the mystic

So you don't have to think

Find another suspect

Find another shrink

There's no one left to blame

You're the cause of your pain

There's no one left to blame

There's no mystery

Not even the one that you see

There's no mystery

Not even the one that you see

There's no mystery

Not even the one that you see
