Don't Blame the Coward

The blame is not all mine.

The blame is not all mine!

"And I refuse to accept myself as the cause of this grievous crime

The blame is not all mine..."

The blame is not all mine,

"And I swear with my right hand to the justice of law

I did not commit that crime"

I could lie and say I'm guilty but,

You are never guilty until they think you're innocent and

if they think you're guilty then you probably are.

"But I will not lie, I've not a touch to do with that crime and

for when is a bystander guilty by sight?"

The blame is not all mine and this is what I need to prove right.

I saw the sleight of hand and angry cries, roaring grumbles and narrowed to slit eyes

And that, how I despise,

but the blame is NOT all mine!

"I will defend myself as I do

because what is true to me will never be to you

and all that I've seen

could just be illusory sight triggered from terrified fright

But- how am I right?

The blame is not all mine.

I've been saying, at all time, that I am only witness to the crime

And the truth as paid a dozen a dime

I conclude, the blame is not all mine"

For what do they want the coward of a man I am to do,

Be apart of the crime because it's more seemly than true.
