Janis Ian - Hit You with the Guilt lyrics
[Janis Ian - Hit You with the Guilt lyrics]
They pin you full of medals
Thinking everything is settled
Like you're some jerk
They make you out a hero
Then they turn you into zero
'Cause there's no work
They mail congratulations every
Federal occasion but it still hurts
They send you out to kill
Then they hit you with the bill
And every time you've had your fill
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They tell you get a job
But there's not a lot to rob
And it's too late can't wait
They want you to be patient
Get a higher education
Find a new trade self made
They tell you to forget
But the people that you've met
Put out quite a chill
They treat you like a loser
You're just another user
And every time you try to climb the hill
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
It's a crummy situation when the
Heroes of a nation are it's outlaws
There's got to be a reason
To keep on believing when you're rubbed raw
What happened to the payoff?
Just another layoff
Just another short-order drill
They treat you like a man
Then they mark you with a brand
And every time you want to kill
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
(Hit you with the guilt)
(They hit you with the guilt)
(Hit you with the guilt)
(Hit you with the guilt, The guilt)
Thinking everything is settled
Like you're some jerk
They make you out a hero
Then they turn you into zero
'Cause there's no work
They mail congratulations every
Federal occasion but it still hurts
They send you out to kill
Then they hit you with the bill
And every time you've had your fill
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They tell you get a job
But there's not a lot to rob
And it's too late can't wait
They want you to be patient
Get a higher education
Find a new trade self made
They tell you to forget
But the people that you've met
Put out quite a chill
They treat you like a loser
You're just another user
And every time you try to climb the hill
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
It's a crummy situation when the
Heroes of a nation are it's outlaws
There's got to be a reason
To keep on believing when you're rubbed raw
What happened to the payoff?
Just another layoff
Just another short-order drill
They treat you like a man
Then they mark you with a brand
And every time you want to kill
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
They hit you with the guilt
You've not committed any crime
They hit you with the guilt
Anything, if you toe the line
(Hit you with the guilt)
(They hit you with the guilt)
(Hit you with the guilt)
(Hit you with the guilt, The guilt)
