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
