Modest Mouse - Blame Yourself lyrics

With your teeth, your lips
You hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
With your teeth, your lips
You hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
With your teeth, your lips
You hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around"
Do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?
Hey you, do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?!
Do you blame yourself?!
Well, hey you! yeah you!


Will you blame yourself?!
Well you! yeah, will you blame yourself?!
Hey you, do you blame yourself?
Oh yeah, do you blame yourself?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you blame yourself!
Do you blame someone else?
Do you blame someone else?
Mother, father, preacher, God
Do you blame yourself? Blame yourself!
Mothers got a daughter, son's a preacher
Son drinks water
Take yourself down to the roller skating rink
Say what you know is what you had
And what you had was something better
So now you blame yourself!
Do you blame yourself!?
You knew there was something wrong
There was something right
There was something better than that
Someday you didn't know something
You wanted to forget blame yourself for that
() do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?
Did you fuck yourself up?
Oh shit, I would cut myself
Well, can you blame yourself?!
With your teeth, your lips
You hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
You got a knife? You got a knife?
You got a knife?! You got a knife!
You got a knife! (Aww, shit)

With the choice of lying from the first day
Things you had that you would have said
That you said before you even
Got through the door
You didn't know they made up some more
So much more you had to say
"I got nothing left today
But no thoughts, I got nothing to believe
I can't believe what you're saying
And you can think what I'm thinking
What I would and kudos to you
I do not know what I have in my head
And I cannot, will not do
And I cannot belong to you
You cannot belong to me, too
I cannot blame you for you
And you cannot blame me for the shit I do"
() well habit, habit, habit's dead
The dad tried to kill himself
Other dad tried to kill himself
And they never made it out on time
And they never made it out
With their mental health
But then one day you walk through the door
Just outside you know some more
I don't love you, you don't love you
And you know what you got left
What the fuck you got left?
I don't love you, I don't love you
You can't say what's left
Love yourself and love your friends
Well, love your family near the end
Don't know what is going on
Well, things cannot end up this way
Things cannot end up this way!
You're walking to the TV
Listening to the shows
Reading the paper and no one knows
What the fuck is going on, how much how
How much how?
How much longer have we got to go on?
Old age as time grew
You did too and you didn't
Say what you wanted to okay! (Static shit)
Patriotic bullshit, George Bush
The government
The other side, genocide, what the fuck?
You can't deny that things are going up
And are not going to be so nice
Take a breath or take twenty ()
You get no more and you can
See what you can see
