Such an annoying conversation I'm sorry but I'm tired of trying To be some picture of compassion And anyway it sounds like I'm lying And yes I've heard the world has conspired To steal away your god-given right To a happy home and comfortable children Next you'll sue them for abandoning you! [Chorus] So bite your tongue You're not the only one Who's been let down Bite your tongue Maybe it's good for you To hit the ground Oh, Christ it's gonna sound like I'm agreeing With the most ultra-boring ideas Of pop psychological western gurus Who haven't gotten lucky in years And so you see I have no intention Of giving you the easy way out Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section Of my local bookstore! [Chorus] Blame the shapes and blame the angles Blame it on your own dark planes If you blame on something other, The victim's song remains, Remains [Chorus]
