[Verse 1]

Never been a lover

Never been a fighter though

Heard that on the radio

Killing all my good cells

Letting all my worries drown

Letting all my people down



[Pre-Chorus]

If I'm not with you, I'm against you

New school, I'll offend you now

Can never make a sound

As I dig six feet underneath my heart beats

And I don't recognize one face in the crowd



[Chorus]

So I blame it on rock and roll

And I blame it on my guitar

I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone

Blame it on rock and roll

And I blame it on my guitar

I'll deflect it all



[Verse 2]

I remember back then

Going to a punk rock show

Day dreaming I would have my own

Wanted to be greater

Wanted to be glorious

Ended up a bitter lush



[Chorus]

And I blame it on rock and roll

And I blame it on my guitar

I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone

Blame it on rock and roll

And I blame it on my guitar

I'll deflect it all



[Bridge]

Ain't it the feeling that you know that you can't replace?

Ain't it the buzz of oncoming disaster?

Ain't it the woman that you're never allowed to chase?

How can you tell me you love me?

When all I see is number 1

Number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, they're bound to run

When happiness is a loaded gun

And I wave it in their faces 'til there ain't anyone



[Chorus]

Blame it on rock and roll

And I blame it on my guitar

I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone

Blame it on rock and roll

And I blame it on my guitar

I'll deflect it all



[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Blame it on rock and roll (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And I blame it on my guitar (Ooh)

I'm ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, alone

Blame it on rock and roll (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And I blame it on my guitar (Ooh)

I'll deflect it all (Woah)
