I Blame The Government Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][D][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I
blame the gov[A]ernment
For [D]making me this way
[Em]Bitter and [A]twisted and [D]crap
[Em]Bored [A]psychopathic
At the [D]end of the day
[Em]I blame the go[A]vernment for tha[D]t
[Em]Poor [A]education,
[D]death on the roads
[Em]The writing that's [A]not on the [D]wall
[Em]The war in The [A]Balkans
The [D]war in The Falklands
It's [Em]not like The [A]Waltons at a[D]ll

[Verse 2]
I'm the [G]judge [A]and the [D]jury
[G]Prosecution [A]and de[D]fence
I'm the [G]wife, the [A]friend
The [D]twelve angry [G]men
And I [A]blame them

[Verse 3]
[A]
For [Em]the child that's aban[A]doned
The de[D]cline in standards
[Em]Cruelty to [A]animals and [D]yes,
[Em]There's no en[A]joyment
In [D]mass unemployment
[Em]Ulcers, star[A]vation and death
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]The [A]underach[D]ievers
Taken by the receivers
The [Em]school leav[A]ers left on the [D]shelf
[Em]Robbery with vi[A]olence
With [D]torture and silence
[Em]Small print, [A]the pop charts
And [D]everything else

[Verse 5]
I'm the [G]judge [A]and the [D]jury
[G]Prosecution [A]and de[D]fence
I'm the [G]wife, the [A]friend
The [D]twelve angry [G]men
And I [A]blame them

[Verse 6]
[A]
If [Em]I had the win[A]gs of a [D]sparrow
If [Em]I had the ars[A]e of a cro[D]w
[Em]I'd fly over [A]Whitehall tomor[D]row
[Em]And... on the [A]bastards [D]below
It's [Em]ugly and [A]crude and I'm [D]sorry
I just [Em]want you to [A]leave me
[D]alone
[Em]You're selling us [A]all down
[D]The Swannee
[Em]I'm tired and I [A]want to [D]go home

[Verse 7]
As we disappear [A]in to
the distance
The sinking ship leaving the rats
For making me bitter and twisted
I blame the government for that
