Too many people in the world have a tendency to blame others instead of taking responsibility for their actions.  It seems like a narcissistic trait.  We would all be better if everyone ceased playing the blame game.

"Funkin' Blame Game" is a rock song, with a funky baseline, catchy guitars, driving drums, and vocal accompaniment by the awesome Anne Bennett.

VERSE 1:

Never at fault, no responsibility.
It’s the worst trait, vulgar and ugly.
Pass the buck.  No sensibility.
We all do it.  Killing our society.

Fantasize your own superiority.
Seeking praise, and covet all envy.
Play the victim, show no empathy.
Admit no mistake, never an apology.

CHORUS:

Do you play the bla-a-ame game.
Where you win by shovin’ them down.
Do you say things that defame them.
Excuses you, passin’ around.

Better, smarter, know it all.
Always right, and can’t be wrong.
All questioners must be flawed.
Challengers all are small.

VERSE 2:

Just one slip, means no respectability.
You deny, any culpability.
You can’t show, vulnerability.
It’s a threat to your virility.

Convincing you, to have the capability
To lead a life, filled with civility.
Is just a path, of dumb futility.
That always ends, in your hostility.

CHORUS

VERSE 3:

“I am sorry,” is a disability.
You depend on, other’s gullibility.
Believing you, the only possibility.
Don’t care for peace and tranquility.

Buck stops there, no credibility.
You’re locked down, no humility.
Your behavior leads to instability.
No authority, no nobility.

BRIDGE LYRICS:

Don’t you, want to, cease to, play the, play the blame game

When fingers point, you complain.
Can’t be me, you exclaim.
Resisting blame, you refrain.  
Not your prob, you explain.

Guilt-free self, you sustain.
Sympathy, you abstain.
Deflect flaws, you remain.
Just satisfied to play the blame game.

Funkin' Blame Game (feat. Anne Bennett)

A life-long music enthusiast.  I played bass guitar in the 80s and 90s throughout high school, college, and grad school.  I picked up playing again, taught myself guitar, and started recording during the pandemic.  Happy to share my work with others.
