lyrics

Blame it all on Puerto Rico
Because god looks down on island towns
Yes you know it's true

Blame it all on poorer people
If they need help they can go to hell
Hell you'll help 'em down

They did it themselves they did
When they let you come in
And run the ship
So turn your back and sing
The god of dollars needs their suffering

Blame it all on some kind of evil
That you learned when you were young
And swallowing
The vile things
That slipped right off your tongue

Blame it all on poorer people
If they need help they can go to hell
Hell you'll help 'em down

Blame it all on other people
The stranger's son
Who speaks in tongues
That you'll never learn

Blame it on those outside the steeple
The in-betweens in ripped up jeans
The godless pipedream people

They did it themselves they did
When they let you come in
And run the ship
So turn your back and sing
The god of dollars needs our suffering
The god of dollars needs our suffering
