Fencebutt

you'll blame the kid who stole your bike
you'll blame the cops out on their beat
you'll blame somebody's repressed libido
or the people sleeping at your feet
but you won't blame the system
no, you won't blame the system
the system pays your rent
and that must mean it's heaven-sent
and it's not broken, only bent
and besides, no one can make a dent

you'll blame one rich man or two
you'll blame a few laws here or there
you'll write a letter to your congressman
you wish it all could be more fair
but you won't blame the system
no, you won't blame the system
the system works in theory
when it comes to change, you're leery
fighting is just too darn scary
maybe you're just too battle-weary

(1994)
