Share In the Blame

Words and Music by Sandra McCracken. c2007 Same Old Dress Music (admin. by music services) all rights reserved. ASCAP Don’t blame the bullet for the wars you have sown Don’t blame the winter when you’ve forgotten your coat When you make the same deals for a hundred years and you wanna make a change You gotta hold up the mirror and share in the blame Don’t blame your brother for the color of his skin don’t blame your neighbor for the house he lives in from the same cloth, we are made of, we are just the same you gotta hold up the mirror and share in the blame (chorus) like a coming of age, I am learning how to say all the failures I’m dragging behind Finding freedom to speak, freedom to release Oh tonight I wanna make peace with you Don’t blame the writer for the doubts in your head Don’t blame the preacher for the lovers in your bed When you find out that the world is round, everything is rearranged You gotta hold up the mirror, and share in the blame (chorus) Don’t blame the president, don’t blame the king Don’t blame your history for what might have been we will be free where the gra*s is green and the lion is tame if we just hold up the mirror now and share in the blame
