Hey don't you go weepin' and moanin'
Fussin' and fightin', whinin' and groanin'
I know you've got better things to do
'Cause you've got friends in high places
With light traces of blood on their faces
And under their fingernails

Tell me why after all this time
You still can't find a reason, you still can't find a rhyme
Oh lord just tell me who's to blame
No one but yourself now honey, ain't that a cryin' shame

Hey don't you get down on yourself
You know it's bad for your image and bad for your health
I know you've got better ways to waste your time
'Cause you've got family and you've got friends
You've got your education it's a means to an end
Although you've got better ways to make a dime

Tell me why after all this time
You still can't find a reason, you still can't find a rhyme
Oh lord just tell me who's to blame
No one but yourself now honey, ain't that a cryin' shame
