In the church one day you will get hurt
In the school teacher's such a fool
And if they would ever come 'round here
They would ever come
Blame it on my style, take a pill
Don't tell me how to feelBad news and tunes
Sing it from the high
Singin' some sad songUncle Sam, playin' in the sand
Understand, hold my hand
Time is never gonna stop runnin'
Never gonna stop
Take me to the top of the trees
Don't take me for a cracked window paneBad news and tunes
Are shinin' from the high
Singin' some sad songDon't rehearse, this is the last verse
In the hearse, goin' through your purse
And if they would ever laugh, not here
They would ever laugh
Blame it on my style, once again
Don't take me for a ride in the rainBad news and tunes
Shinin' from the high
Singin' some sad song
