Blame It On Cain Lyrics - My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello

Once upon a time, I had a little money 

Government burglars took it long 

Before I could mail it to you 

Still 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 

Well, this is what I'm gonna say 

Blame it on Cain 

Don't blame it on me 

Oh, 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 

And trade it in

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But then the radio to heaven 

Will be wired to your purse 

And you can run down the wave band 

Coast to coast, hand in hand 

Bad for 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, oh, it's nobody's 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 

Photos 

Oh, but I've never been accused 

But when they step upon your face 

They wear that good look grin 

I gotta break out one weekend 

Before I 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 

Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault 

But we need somebody to burn 

Blame it on Cain 

Oh, oh, oh, please don't blame it on me 

It's nobody's fault 

But it just seems to be his turn
