I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion,
who's to blame '

I signed your living will
I smiled your face
I'm ready to close the book on
NASA and outer space

If there is some confusion
who's to blame '
who's to blame '

I sequenced your arrival
I sealed your fate
I pushed the button
and erased your master tape

I wrote the sales pitch
I threw the grey switch

I dragged your big-assed
dirty robbed car out of that ditch

If there is some confusion
who's to blame '
who's to blame '

I crossed your great divide
I stirred your ocean's tide
I called your bluff until
I blew your circuits wide

I'll be your albatross,
devil dog, Jesus Lord
I don't wanna be Iggy Pop
but if that's what it takes - me.

If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
who's to blame '
who's to blame '
