Blame Your Parents

from No Place For Us (2015) by The Idiot Society

lyrics

There’s sadness in your heart
And you’re looking for reasons
So you unlock your memories
And blame your parents

Your father’s outbursts
Your mother’s silence
Their changeability
Their strange alliance.

Blame your Parents
Blame your Parents
Blame your Parents
Blame your Parents

This unsteady ship
You were born adrift
With no clear
Destination

A chaos of movement
Unpredictable shifts
A myriad of
Emotions

And you who were so spotless
Full of innocence
Became marked forever
By this early existence

Your frustrations
Your temper
Your low self esteem
All down to your parents

Your frailty
Your madness
Your broken dreams
All down to your parents.

Blame your Parents
Blame your Parents
Blame your Parents
Blame your Parents

You keep making mistakes
You keep feeling bad
You’re racked with guilt
And you think you’re going mad

But instead of
Trying to work it out
You pass the buck
On poor mom and dad

It’s all hereditary
It’s in the genes
It’s the environment
Your upbringing

It’s the government
It’s the schools
It’s the universe
God, the devil

It’s everybody’s fault
That’s apparent
But most of all
It’s your parents.

You can’t relate – blame your parents
You have no drive – blame your parents
You feel sick – blame your parents
You’re deprived – blame your parents

You are angry – blame your parents
You’re depressed – blame your parents
You are bitter – blame your parents
You’re a mess - blame your parents

You are anxious – blame your parents
You are shy – blame your parents
You are scared – blame your parents
You’re uptight – blame your parents

You are weak – blame your parents
You are awkward – blame your parents
You’re a failure – blame your parents
You’re a coward – blame your parents

You’re scarred for life –
And it’s all down to your parents.
