Don't blame the doctor for giving me those pills
Don't blame my mother for holding my hand up the hill
Don't blame my childhood friends for speaking their minds
I'll take it all, yeah I'll take it all I will
If I was to fight would you fight against me
If I was to run would you run with me
If I was to die would you bury me deep
Saying world please
And if I was to scream would you hear what I said
If I was to drown would you hold my hand
Underneath the memories of what I meant
And not what I did
I built a house so tall and I burned it down
I was looking for culture to find what was already found
But don't blame America, blame it on me
I'm w0rried that the sins of the father will trickle down
If I was to fight would you fight against me
If I was to run would you run with me
If I was to die would you bury me deep
Saying world please
And if I was to scream would you hear what I said
If I was to drown would you hold my hand
Underneath the memories of what I meant
And not what I did
So don't blame the money for telling me those lies
Don't say my lord was up there being unkind
'Cause if justice is a trick you know we all could hide
I'll take it all, yeah I'll take it all this time
If I was to fight would you fight against me
If I was to run would you run with me
If I was to die would you bury me deep
Saying world please
And if I was to scream would you hear what I said
If I was to drown would you hold my hand
Underneath the memories of what I meant
And not what I did
