When you can’t find it on Google.

Blame

This is the first time that I’ve almost completely forgotten to post the Tuesday Zep. It’s 9 am Tuesday and I just realized that I haven’t prepared anything. I’m reminded of the (uncensored) “Blame” piece Jason, Jon, and I composed a few years ago (before Foxx’s “Blame It”). I probably shouldn’t mention it—it would be wise not to post any of this kitsch—but if you want more diary-style insights into my 2007-2009 life,  you can look for links on my History page. Sorry. Next week, I’ll be ON IT!

Words and music by Jason Beetz, J. J. DiUbaldi, and Jon Small. First draft of a list –> poem –> song.

This could work both ways in a relationship. We hypocritically blame people for things we’re obviously guilty of, as well. We shouldn’t think we’re actually that different from each other.

blame it on the ex’s
blame it on the weed
blame it on the alcohol
blame it on the softball glove
Blame it On the Rain
have an excuse for everything
all I’m askin
just don’t blame me

blame it on the traffic
blame it on the dog
blame it on your attitude
blame it on your personality
blame it on your lack of control
blame it on being tired
blame it on the hard day’s work
blame it on having a bad day
blame it on your roommate
blame it on your kids
blame it on your brother
blame it on your brother’s kids
blame it on the weather
blame it on the wind
just don’t blame me

blame it on your religion and lack thereof
blame it on the collapse
or blame it on the condom
blame it on your upbringing or on your childhood
blame it on the condom

blame it on your shitty car
blame it on your shitty room
blame it on the paper thin doors
blame it on the paper thin walls
“Keep it down in there!” you’d like to say
blame it on your shitty landlord
or blame it on the condom
blame it on the mouse on the motorcycle

blame it on your dirty home
or on your cheap cell phone…
and your shitty service
pretend you don’t understand subtlety
say, “we can talk about it tomorrow”

blame it on our dirty house
then blame it on the wife
just don’t blame me
