The Scapegoat
Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
His finger clasping, ever-grasping hands
Right there around your throat
And I don't wanna be the bearer of the bad news
Bare-assed, broken, always choking, tripping over myself
Just to be the scapegoat
Do what you want to, but I can't get on board
I won't be blamed for the bullshit, the anxious assumptions
I know you got a lot in store
I give thanks to my self
Deprecation, it's the key to my success
I wear it like a winter coat
It keeps me warm, by inflicting harm
No one else can get a word in while I'm tearing me down
With a defense like that it pays to be the scapegoat
Do what you want to, but I can't get on board
I may be passive aggressive, but much more impressive
Is the way that I walk out the door
Do what you want to, but I can't get on board
I'll just say thanks for the lesson, but just one suggestion
Don't make loving you a chore
The goat gets loose everyone once in a while
Just go and bring him on back
His finger clasping, ever-grasping hands
Right there around your throat
And I don't wanna be the bearer of the bad news
Bare-assed, broken, always choking, tripping over myself
Just to be the scapegoat
Do what you want to, but I can't get on board
I won't be blamed for the bullshit, the anxious assumptions
I know you got a lot in store
I give thanks to my self
Deprecation, it's the key to my success
I wear it like a winter coat
It keeps me warm, by inflicting harm
No one else can get a word in while I'm tearing me down
With a defense like that it pays to be the scapegoat
Do what you want to, but I can't get on board
I may be passive aggressive, but much more impressive
Is the way that I walk out the door
Do what you want to, but I can't get on board
I'll just say thanks for the lesson, but just one suggestion
Don't make loving you a chore
The goat gets loose everyone once in a while
Just go and bring him on back
