Intro
        

            
Blame it on the Tetons
                             
Yeah, I need a scapegoat now
 
No, my dog won't bite you
          
Though it had the right to

You ought to give her credit
                                  
'cause she knows I would've let it happen

Blame it on the weekends
                      
God, I need a cola now

Oh, we mumble loudly

Wear our shame so proudly

Wore our blank expressions
              
Trying to look interesting

Blame it all on me 'cause
                            
God, I need a cold one now


All them eager actors
                         
Gladly taking credit for the lines created
                            
By the people tucked away from sight
                 
Is just a window from the room we're bound to

If you find a way out
                            
Oh, would you just let me know how?
                               
Would you just let me know how?


Blame it on the web
                                  
But the spider's your problem now

Language is the liquid
 
That we're all dissolved in
 
Great for solving problems
           
After it creates a problem

Blame it on the Tetons
                     
God, I need a scapegoat now

                      
Everyone's a building burning
                          
With no one to put the fire out
                       
Standing at the window looking out
                         
Waiting for time to burn us down
                    
Everyone's an ocean drowning
                      
With no one really to show how
                         
They might get a little better air
                               
If they turned themselves into a cloud
