Blame It On Cain

Blame It On Cain - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)

Written by：Elvis Costello

Once upon a time I had a little money

Government burglars took it long before

I could mail it to you but you are the only one

Now I can't let it slip away

So if the man with the ticker tape tries to take it

This is what I'm gonna say

Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

Oh oh it's nobody's fault

But we need somebody to burn

Well if I was a saint with a silver cup and the money got low

We could always heat it up or trade it in

But then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse

Then you can run down the wave band coast to coast hand in hand

Better or worse curse for curse don't be dissatisfied

So you're not satisfied

Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

Oh oh

It's nobodies fault

But we need somebody to burn

I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town

I think I'm going insane from talking to myself for so long

Oh but I've never been accused

But when they step up on your face

They wear that good look grin

I gotta break out one weekend

Try to do somebody in

But every single time

I feel a little stronger

They tell me it's a crime

Well how much longer

Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

It's nobodies fault

But we need somebody to burn

Blame it on Cain

Please don't blame it on me

It's nobodies fault

But it just seems to be his turn
