From:
I guess you have to have a probelm
If you want to īvent a contraption
Well you cause a trainwreck
And then you put me in traction
First came an action
And then a reaction
But you canīt switch around
For your own satisfaction
Well you burnt my house down
And then got mad at my reaction
Well in every complicated situation
Thereīs a human relation
To make sense of it all
Take a whole lot of concentration
Well you canīt blame her baby
For her pregnant ma
And if thereīs one of these
On her auto applause
Itīs just that you canīt just take the effect and make it the cause
Well you canīt take the effect
And make it the cause
I didnīt rob a bank
Cos you made up the law
Blame me for robbing peter
Donīt you blame paul
Canīt take the effect
And make it the cause
I ainīt the reason that you gave me
No reason to return your call
You built a house of cards
And got shocked when you saw them fall
Well I ainīt saying Iīm innocent
In fact the reverse
But if your heading to the grave
Donīt blame the hearse
Youīre like a little girl yelling at her brother
Cos you lost his ball
You keep blaming me for what you did
And that ainīt all
The way you clean up the wreck
Is enough to give one pause
You seem to forget just how this song started
Iīm reacting to you
Cos you left me broken hearted
Itīs just that you canīt just take the effect and make it the cause
Well you canīt take the effect
And make it the cause
I didnīt rob a bank
Cos you made up the law
Blame me for robbing peter
Donīt you blame paul
Canīt take the effect
And make it the cause
