I blame the government For making me this way Bitter and twisted and crap Bored psychopathic At the end of the day I blame the government for that Poor education, d**h on the roads The writing that's not on the wall The war in The Balkans The war in The Falklands It's not like The Waltons at all I'm the judge and the jury Prosecution and defence I'm the wife, the friend The twelve angry men And I blame them For the child that's abandoned The decline in standards Cruelty to animals and yes, There's no enjoyment In ma** unemployment Ulcers,starvation and d**h Under achievers Taken by the receivers The school leavers left on the shelf Robbery with violence With torture and silence Small print, the pop charts And everything else I'm the judge and the jury Prosecution and defence I'm the wife, the friend The twelve angry men And I blame them If I had the wings of a sparrow If I had the arse of a crow I'd fly over Whitehall tomorrow And **** on the ba*tards below It's ugly and crude and I'm sorry I just want you to leave me alone You're selling us all down The Swannee I'm tired and I want to go home As we disappear into the distance The sinking ship leaving the rats For making me bitter and twisted I blame the government for that
