Blame It On the Stones

Mister Marvin middle class is really in a stew Wondering' what the younger generation's coming to And the taste of his martini doesn't please his bitter tongue Blame it on the rolling stones. Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home Blame it on the rolling stones. Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones Father's at the office, nightly working all the time Trying to make the secretary change her little mind And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes Blame it on those rolling stones. Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones. --- Blame It on the Stones - Kris Kristofferson
